Continuity mistake: Arnold dives to save the girl under the lid of a fridge. When all the drill bits are shot at him with his hand above the fridge door, none hit his hand. But in the next angle one penetrated his hand. Then in the next scene, when he's driving the van with both hands and when he swipes the credit card the wound appears and disappears. (00:28:30)

Red Dawn (1984)

Red Dawn mistake picture

Factual error: When the Russian tank rolls up to the two gas pumps, the crew have a choice of regular gasoline (as indicated on the pump), or Good Gulf (a premium gasoline). And in fact one of the tankers tells the attendant, "Gasoline." The trouble is, all Soviet tanks, from the T-34 up through the T-80, have diesel engines for safety reasons. (00:46:55)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Most variants of the T-80 use a Gas Turbine engine, which can use basically any flammable liquid.

The tanks in the movie were mocked up to be T72s, which were diesel.

Red Dawn (1984)

Red Dawn mistake picture

Factual error: In the opening scene of the movie, the Soviet paratroopers are seen wearing smooth, black, leather parachute helmets. But Soviet Paratroopers have always worn tan, cloth parachute helmets with ridges that resembled tanker helmets. (00:05:00)

Suggested correction: Actually no, The Soviet airborne would have had leather helmets when they jumped in circa 1984.
