Continuity mistake: As the US Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela is being evacuated, the ambassador steps into a Black Hawk helicopter with markings 33 and 3016. After her Black Hawk arrives at the Aeropuerto Francisco de Miranda Airport in Caracas, it has markings 60 and 2065. (00:25:48 - 00:29:20)
Character mistake: When James Greer reviews Jack Ryan's military record, there is an entry that states he received the Marines Corps 'God' Conduct Medal. The word is meant to be Good. (00:31:09)
Audio problem: The outside shots of the C-130 flying have the sound of a piston plane and not a turboprop.
Continuity mistake: During the phone conversation between Jack Ryan and Jim Greer, Jack's phone flips from being right side up to upside down to right side up. (00:19:10)
Other mistake: A group of four operators have infiltrated a house and assassinated a victim by shooting him in his bed. Four rounds to the body are fired. When they go to the victim to get a confirmation sample, there is no blood seeping anywhere.
Old Haunts - S3-E2
Visible crew/equipment: When Jim Greer is talking to Elizabeth Wright where she finds out Jim undermined the mission, you can see a member of the film crew holding a camera on his right shoulder in the reflection of his sunglasses. (00:43:05)
Factual error: First scene: 1969 in Matoksa, USSR Vehicles are parked in front of a building. 1 is a VAZ-2103, production began in 1972. Another is a Niva 4x4, production began in 1977. (00:02:56 - 00:03:54)
Factual error: Luka's military officer cap isn't a Russian cap, it is a Hungarian police cap. The Russian cap is bigger.
Revealing mistake: Driving through Paris, the speedometer of the Police BMW car is at 0kph (rev counter shows car at tick-over).
Continuity mistake: When Matice is given the coordinates and writes them down, his handwriting changes a few shots later.
Other mistake: An assassin/courier is carrying a wooden box underneath his arm. When the box is delivered and opened, there are two severed hands inside. However, they are perfectly placed on each side of the box, with no visible means holding them in place. Why did they not shift to one side when the box was being carried under the person's arm in a vertical position?
Other mistake: The opening scene shows a captive with a hood over his head being dragged barefoot along a long driveway by two men. His feet are dragging over the ground. He is then strung up by his hands, and when they show his feet, there is not a scratch on them.
Answer: That's right, that's his name. "Jack" is a common nickname for John. I think the P is for Patrick.
