Continuity mistake: When the Wolverines are attempting to get "the box", the Matt Eckert character is shooting through a window. When we see his point of view, there are blinds in the way of the camera, however every time it shows the actor, the blinds are open.

Suggested correction: Throughout the history of the sport, many NCAA, NFL, and highschool teams have used white as their home colors. The Chiefs, Dolphins, Eagles, and Cowboys were all well known for wearing white at home during the 80s.
Continuity mistake: As Jed and the others are fleeing from the Koreans, they drive through a park and back onto the road. When Jed get back onto the road, the drive shaft can be seen detached from the differential on his truck, but is in one piece after they crashed into the military Hummer. (00:15:10)
Hodges: That's not a plan. That's a shit sandwich without bread.
Jed Eckert: Even the tiniest flea can drive a big dog crazy.
Jed Eckert: You fucked with the wrong family.
Question: What was the actual reason why Russia and North Korea (actually, it was intended to be China) chose to invade the United States? Was it because they saw it as a threat to them? What purpose would dedicating troops and logistics to an invasion of the USA have served?
Answer: The flimsy plotline was that the European Union's economic crisis had weakened the NATO alliance so much that they were vulnerable to a North Korean and Russian invasion. American troops were deployed to support NATO defenses, which supposedly left the U.S. mainland and its infrastructure open to terrorists and cyberattacks. Presumably, Russia's and Korea's joint objective was to weaken/cripple the USA's power, economy, and global influence by creating internal chaos.
Question: When Pete got caught in that bomb blast, was he just at the wrong place at the wrong time, or was he specifically targeted to be killed, along with the targeted others?
Question: When Jed and Matt caught up with their father, as he told them to follow him, where was he running them to before the paratroopers stopped him? Also, was there a reason why that one paratrooper shot at his cop car?
