Continuity mistake: During the final fight between Cain and Todd, Todd breaks Cain's arm at the elbow and wrist. In the next shot Cain is staggering backwards as Todd winds up for another blow. You can clearly see that Cain's arm is fine and resting comfortably at his side. (01:24:13)
Church: My daddy was in maintenance and he had a saying, he used to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Trivia: When the veterans are shown leaving the ship to go and set up an outpost on Arcadia, in the foreground you can see a nameplate on some debris. It says "Lewis", from the Lewis and Clark ship in Event Horizon, another Paul WS Anderson movie.
Question: Todd has been raised from birth to be totally emotionless. When he is thrown out of the colony, what caused him to cry?
