Armageddon (1998)
3 other mistakes
Directed by: Michael Bay
Starring: Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Michael Clarke Duncan, Peter Stormare, Steve Buscemi, William Fichtner
Other mistake: A.J. gets dirt on his face although he is covered by an astronaut's suit.
Other mistake: In the scene where the asteroids are hitting New York, there is an exterior shot of one of them hitting the South end of Grand Central Terminal. Another shot goes by and the film cuts to the main area inside the station, which is close to where the first asteroid hit. There is not one hint of damage, or any discernible reaction from the people inside from the first impact. (00:08:20)
Floyd1977Other mistake: When the first shuttle has crashed, you can see that one of the characters (I think it was Liv Tyler's fiancé) has torn gloves. That would decompress his spacesuit and he'd suffocate.

Factual error: During the scene where it shows people all over the world, just before the shuttles take off, it is daylight everywhere. It would actually be dark or near dark in parts of the world.
Harry Stamper: You got any more bullets in that gun, Sharp?
Trivia: While being strapped in, Rockhound tells Harry they're sitting on "something with 270,000 moving parts all built by the lowest bidder." This is a paraphrase of a quote by Alan Shepherd.
