Continuity mistake: When Sam's parents are spat out by Bonecrusher in Egypt, Sam's mom is wearing pants. In the next scene when they all meet up she has a skirt on with the same pattern as the pants.
Continuity mistake: When Sam and Mikaela are in the evening desert scene the night before the big fight, Mikaela has a cream colored spaghetti strapped top on. When the scene cuts back to them, she now has a black spaghetti strapped number with a black scarf around her shoulders. Cut back, and the beige shirt has returned.

Continuity mistake: When the Jordanian helicopters are on approach, there are painted with a desert camo. The one that is shot down first and lands next to the soldiers is all of a sudden black.
