Revealing mistake: By the end of the movie, when Jamie Foxx is holding the dying Arabian cop, you can see that Jamie's neck injury looks extremely false.
The Kingdom (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Peter Berg
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper
Arabian police find a bunch of teenage terrorists and thinking they committed the crime, the team drives to the airport. As they are, a car bomb goes off and their car flips over. Another car, driven by associates of Al Hamza, comes and they kidnap Adam. The others follow him to an apartment building, kill the terrorists and save Adam. After all is said and done, Fleury discovers that a little girl's grandfather is Al Hamza. Fleury shoots him, but not before Al Hamza shoots Al Ghaza, who bleeds to death. After the team ships home, Adam asks Fleury what he said to Janet in the briefing room earlier in the movie. Fleury's response is "Don't worry, we're gonna kill them all." Back in Saudi Arabia, Al Hamza's granddaughter is asked what his last words were and she gives the exact same answer.

More mistakes in The Kingdom
Adam Leavitt: Sir, not to beat a dead horse, but if there was ever a time for us to put boots on Saudi sand, I mean, don't you think this is it?
Janet Mayes: There's no way, Adam. They will never allow it.
Adam Leavitt: Then let's just ask.
Janet Mayes: The Saudi Royal Family cannot appear as if they're losing control. If they lose control of their country, lose control of the people, they risk losing control of the oil. And that's not going to happen.
Trivia: Throughout the movie, they refer to the terrorist bomb-maker by the name of Abu Hamza. Although this movie is a work of fiction, there is a convicted Muslim Imam preacher in the UK called Abu Hamza, who is being sought by the USA for extradition on terrorist charges, for bombing people in Jordan.
