Continuity mistake: Stinger's copilot wears a helmet in the Apache and the simulator that shows the name Warlock. He goes by the name Breaker in the movie.
Fire Birds (1990)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: David Green
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones, Sean Young, Bryan Kestner
Other mistake: Why do the good guys keep shooting 2.75in unguided rockets to kill the enemy aircraft? These are designed to kill lightly armored vehicles and trucks on the ground. You would have about as much luck with those as with chucking rocks at planes. There are infared (heat-seeking) Stinger missiles on the wing pylons, we see Billie pull one off and attach the hand held unit to shoot down a jet. Why aren't they using those?
Brad Little: Mr. Preston, this operation will be a failure if we all die.
