Factual error: Near the end of the film, after Ditch and Krista use the reserve parachute, they fall in a windfarm. The windmills are spinning fairly slowly. After the fight Ditch pulls Pinkwater's parachute out. The wind pulls Pinkwater back towards the fan. Before he gets chopped up there is a shot of the fan blades spinning very fast and powerfully. A light breeze would not cause these blades to spin in this fashion. A hurricane would be needed for those blades to chop up a human.
Terminal Velocity (1994)
Directed by: Deran Sarafian
Starring: Charlie Sheen, Christopher McDonald, James Gandolfini, Nastassja Kinski
Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, when the Cadillac Allante is falling, watch closely and you will see it explode just before it hits the ground.
Continuity mistake: When they meet the girl at the junkyard, Ditch walks over to her when she gets out of the plane. The bad guy with him puts his right hand in his coat as if to pull out a gun, it cuts to see the two men from behind and the bad guy has his right hand down by his side, cut to a front shot and his right hand is back inside his coat.
