Other mistake: In the beginning when Yuri sells his first gun, an Uzi, in the hotel room, he states "It shoots hollow points." Yet all the ammo in the case are full metal copper jackets.

Suggested correction: It's the first time he tries to sell a gun. He is just wrong about the bullet type. Common mistake to make for a rookie.

Continuity mistake: After changing the name of the freighter from Kristol to Kono, there is a moment where you see Valentine's perspective as he examines the name on the stern of the ship. For some reason in this shot, the K in Kono is inverted.

Suggested correction: Except it isn't. K is the correct orientation during this shot.

Factual error: When Yuri is narrating about selling weapons for the US government (this was around the scene when he sells M-16's by the kilo), he mentions Lieutenant Colonel Southern. However, when you see the him, he has Colonel rank, which is a silver eagle. The Lieutenant Colonel rank is a silver leaf, not an eagle.

Trivia: While shooting the scenes on the Ukrainan military base, director Andrew Niccol had to inform NATO that he was shooting a movie, and that was what the line-up of tanks was for. Otherwise, NATO might have mistaken it as a mobilisation of a division.
