Captain America: Civil War

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when they are fighting in the chambers, Captain America destroys the right boot thruster. Later, they say it is the left, and the right one is fine. (02:04:15 - 02:05:30)

Video

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, Rhodes' face is sweaty when he's sitting on the floor of the compound; but when Tony helps him up, the sweat is gone without Rhodes wiping his face.

Suggested correction: He has a light glisten to his face. It reflects harder on the floor than when he rises (more sunlight). But, it's still the same.

Continuity mistake: In the opening sequence, the courtyard outside the lab is filled with bodies. Scarlet Witch pulls the gas out of the building and sends it into the sky. We then get a wide shot of the gas and in it the courtyard is completely empty of bodies, including Wanda and Falcon. (00:07:18)

Continuity mistake: While the sink is filling in the interrogation scene, the water is running over his shoulder, however when the camera shifts above, the faucet is not close enough to have water running over him. (00:25:00 - 00:27:00)

Continuity mistake: The end of the movie shows the jailed Avengers with their wounds still visible, while the others at the Avengers compound are mostly healed, including Rhodes.

Trivia: The directors have previously worked on both Community and Arrested Development - both shows get nods in this movie. Jim Rash, the Dean from Community, plays an MIT faculty member at the start. More subtle is the Bluth family's stair-car from Arrested Development, seen briefly as Captain America walks onto the airport runway before the big battle with the other Avengers.

Question: As I always understood Ant-Man, he always retained the same mass, regardless of his physical size. When he reduces his size, he still retains about 160 lbs of mass, which makes him more formidable, like a 160 lb grain of sand. When he enlarges, even to gigantic size, he is still only 160 lbs. So, how can he kick vehicles around in the airport scene?

Charles Austin Miller

Chosen answer: We never get a specific explanation to what happens to him when he enlarges. Hank Pym explains to him that when he shrinks, it's the result of reducing the distance between atoms which is why he retains his original mass. However, being a giant with a mass and strength of only 160lbs would not be very advantageous in a fight, so they must have found a way for him to grow in size and strength in this situation. Ultimately, we just don't know - the movies and comics differ in a great many respects, so there's just not enough information to work with. Might technically qualify as a mistake, but it's something which could easy be solved with an in-universe answer, however scientifically dubious.
