Continuity mistake: Three times through the movie, we see the command centre on the ship with people running around. Based on several people's movements, it seems that all these scenes were taken at one time, from different angles - too many of the same people moving the same way, carrying the same things.
Deliberate mistake: After the AN-12 launches from the carrier, you see U.S. Navy near the nose of the craft, and MG on the tail code (MG=McGuire Air Force Base). Also, during the flight shots, the plane transforms between a C-130 and AN-12 multiple times.
Continuity mistake: When Brad Pitt is changing the dressing for the female Israeli soldier on the Belarus plane, the man in the seat next to her appears, disappears and re-appears.
Factual error: The first time Brad Pitt leaves the aircraft carrier he is on an Antonov An-12. I haven't been able to find any evidence of an Antonov An-12 being able to take off or land on an aircraft carrier. The minimum runway distance for takeoff is 1500 m, and A Nimitz class carrier is only 325 m. (01:22:00)
Suggested correction: Most planes, if not all, that don't have vertical takeoff capabilities can't land or take off on aircraft carriers. That's why systems are in place to launch planes up to speed for take off and to catch or stop planes upon landing. Even jets that are 5 times faster than a An-12 need help with take off and landing.
A C-130 did multiple take-offs and landings aboard a carrier WITHOUT any assistance, so yes, an AN-12 might have been able to do the same thing: https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of-how-the-c-130-hercules-became-the-biggest-aircraft-to-land-on-an-aircraft-carrier/.
Factual error: When we are at the Welsh WHO facility we get an exterior shot during the night where we hear crickets chirping. This is a classic US film-making error. There are no crickets in Wales or any part of the UK. What you would hear at night is silence. Maybe owls.
Suggested correction: What on earth makes you think there are no crickets in the UK? The most common type found in the UK is the field cricket (Gryllus campestris). In total there are over 25 types of crickets in the UK. Ture that some species are mute, but not the field cricket.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryllus_campestris.
Crickets in Wales don't make a noise as they do in warmer climates.
Other mistake: When Jerry is in B wing, he has killed two zombies with his crowbar, but when we see the crowbar, there's no blood or brain matter on it.
Continuity mistake: Lane is in Jerusalem talking with the Mossad officer just as the zombies are about to cross the wall. In all shots from the front, the left side of the Israeli's face is bathed in sunlight while the right side isn't. In shots from the back, the entire right side is now bathed in sunlight. (01:00:00)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the two girls open the door to their parents' room. Karin's pillow is in the shadow. Sunlight suddenly appears on it just as the two girls are about to jump onto the bed a few seconds later. (00:03:25)
Revealing mistake: When Gerry cuts the woman's hand off you can see it's an obvious fake arm and stump.
