The Expendables 3

Continuity mistake: At the start, when Barney is hiding behind the train to avoid the AA gun, we see the landing skid slide along the track rails. Camera cuts and suddenly they are 6ft in the air. (00:02:40)

Continuity mistake: When Christmas follows Barney out of the bar you can see two men crossing the screen from left to right. After the cut to the next shot these two guys aren't visible anymore. (00:32:30)

Factual error: Their 'spot' for drinking is apparently in the French Quarter because of the street signs. That said, they are drinking Budvar beer. If you know about Budvar, it is the original Budweiser beer from the Czech Republic. Budweiser sued Budvar and won, preventing them from using the name 'Budweiser', even though Adolph Busch came up with 'Budweiser' after going to Pilsner, Czechoslovakia. Budweiser being the bully, and their lawyers and all, won the lawsuit. So now the beer is sold as 'Czechvar' in the US and 'Budvar' everywhere else, meaning they couldn't be drinking it in the USA.

Trivia: In the opening scene, Dr. Death states he was sent to prison for "tax evasion." The actor who played Dr. Death, Wesley Snipes, was actually sentenced to prison from 2010-2013 for tax evasion.

Question: The opening scene with the train crashing into the military base played out an awful lot like the Macbeth boss fight in Star Fox 64. Is this on purpose?
