Revealing mistake: When the huge explosion happens, it is blatantly obvious that Eric and his wheelchair are superimposed in the shot. When the main scene shakes a bit, the superimposed wheelchair does not move. This same explosion minus Eric and his wheelchair appears in an alternate ending. It's the same exact shot.

Continuity mistake: Out in the desert, just before MAC points out the sign, everybody sees horses. In a wide shot both the horses and sign aren't there.

Revealing mistake: When Eric fails into the water, you see MAC sit up into the shot. This was obviously done by rear projection, with MAC inserted into the shot. Notice the difference in contrast between MAC and the other shot in front of it.

Visible crew/equipment: When Eric falls off the cliff, the little girl comes to the rock and calls for help. The camera operator's shadow is visible next to her in the overhead shot.
