Visible crew/equipment: In the middle of the mortar attack on the staging ground, if you look carefully at the AH-64 Apache in the rear you can see what looks like a reflection of the sun, however the sun is not rectangular, so it must be a floodlight.
Fire Birds (1990)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: David Green
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones, Sean Young, Bryan Kestner
Factual error: The crashed Apache has dirt piled around it as if it hit nose first and slid to a stop. Yet the chopper crashing at over 100 mph didn't even scratch the glass FLIR sensor on the nose. Obviously, dirt was just shoveled around a stationary Apache or a mockup.
Brad Little: Mr. Preston, this operation will be a failure if we all die.
