Revealing mistake: When the shot of The Pentagon is shown as word of the hijacking is made known to the State Department it's supposed to be 2:15 in the morning but there is obvious sunlight shining on the buildings making it probably dawn instead of the middle of the night.
Factual error: General Woodbridge's rank insignia should be a four stars as a single piece. Instead they used four one-star insignias. (00:16:59)
Continuity mistake: Chuck Norris pulls back the mattress, and the terrorist shoots up at him destroying Chuck's flashlight. In the next shot, the flashlight is back to normal. (01:30:58)
Factual error: Army utility covers (camouflage field hats) are round on top. They are wearing octagon shaped tops (8 points, 8 edges), which are actually Marines uniform covers. (or Navy).
Continuity mistake: When one hostage is leaving the plane his daughter gives him her doll. Several times when they show the hostages he has the doll, even when they arrive at the airport after being rescued. As they are boarding the plane to leave you see him walking without the doll, but he has it when they land in Israel.
Continuity mistake: Norris is on the motorcycle and aims the rocket at the car. First scene, shows it shooting out on the left side. Second view it's on the other side.
Other mistake: The spot light from the school building spotted the scuba divers with yellow oxygen packs, but the guerrillas did not respond.
