Commando

In a scene towards the end, you can see the two bad guys flip into the air, and see the air ramps they fly off off.

When he is attacking the house near the end, a stuntman falls off the roof, unfortunately you can see a hint of blue crash mat as he lands.

Sullie's yellow Porche is all dented on the side and then he makes a turn and the dents are gone for a split second.

At one point near the end Arnie dives to the ground wearing a combat jacket, then gets up without it on.

In the scene where Matrix is holding Sally over the cliff, you can see the cable holding him up.

At the end of the movie, Arnie puts on his flak jacket then his make-up, but when he takes off his jacket, he's got camouflage on.

Towards the end Arnold is firing a gun, and the length of the ammo belt changes. They show the ammo almost gone and then after an edit it's dragging on the ground.

After Arnold drops Sully of the cliff, he goes back to the the woman's car where she asks what he did with Sully, but she was never told his name.

When Matrix shoots the man in his Daughters room with the M16, the sound, and reaction of the man is more like a shotgun.

After Bennett and his man attacked Matrix's house, it goes to the scene where they explain why they want Matrix's help, then to a scene of the General and a bunch of troops at Matrix's House. Who called them?

When Matrix rips out the seat out the the woman's car, he didn't release a latch or anything, so wouldn't there be twisted metal where the seat was? But Matrix just jumps right in.

At the end, where Matrix kills Bennett by throwing a pipe through him (OK sure, but let's just pretend). The pipe goes through Bennett, and into a steam pipe behind him. Then steam pours out of the Pipe that Matrix threw. Now what happened to all of the flesh, bone, skin, and blood that was inside of the pipe?

After Matrix gets nailed by the car outside the mall entrance, his wallet drops from his pants. Later on in the film, he shows Cindy the picture of his daughter Jenny in his wallet.

After Matrix gets busted at the gun shop, you see Cindy just drive out of the parking lot without any police asking who she is or what she was doing there. What's funny about it is that you can even tell the police are still there by the flashing lights which are hitting the front of the store. Why would the police let a car pull out of the back of a parking lot of a store that was just broken into without wanting to know who that was? If they were good cops they would have seen her car anyway once they got to the store.

At the beginning of the movie when Matrix is driving his truck down the mountains after the bad-guys, there are two mistakes. The first is that just before Matrix's truck crashes, the two cars he's chasing (the car and the van) are very close to one another, and Matrix drives right between the two cars without hitting either of them. This is because after you see the shot of the two vehicles close to one another, the next shot you see the van that was following the car is way behind and totally misses Matrix's truck. The next mistake is just before Matrix's truck falls off the little cliff, you see many trees in front of him (where the cliff was supposed to be), however, once the truck actually falls off, the cliff is there with no trees around it.

When Matrix is riding on the plane's landing gear, there is one quick shot where you see the plane lifting off the ground with Matrix nowhere in sight. Right after that, when Matrix lets go of the landing gear, you see a quick shot of him falling and the plane lifting away without him with the landing gear already up.

When Matrix first rips out the seat of Cindy's car and sits in its spot, his body sits very low to the the bottom of the car. You can even see in the next sceen that his head is clearly lower than Cindy's. However, during the chase sceen, his head is level with Cindy's.

At the mall when Sully first sees Matrix, he grabs at Cindy's handbag wanting a quarter. It's amazing that Cindy first would have a quarter just laying around in there, but it's also amazing how quick he finds it without looking! What if he got to the phone and it was a nickel? He never even looks at it!

After Matrix throws the police officer into the bunch of officers at the mall, he runs at Sully, and you see the guards are beginning to get back up on their feet, but then you see them again a few seconds later, and they are back on the floor again!

When Matrix is driving the red car and trying to run Sully's yellow car off the road, watch the front bumper of the red car. At some points it is hanging off the car, and at others is it attached onto the car.

When Matrix drives the car head on into the telephone pole, he gets out of the car with NO injuries. It looks like he was driving at least 40 miles per hour. They weren't wearing seatbelts either, so both of them should have flown through the windscreen.

When Matrix tells Cook (Bill Duke) that "I eat Green Berets for breakfast" you never see his lips move when he says "But right now I'm very hungry!"

During the fight scene with Matrix and Cook at the Motel, the stunt double for Cook (the bald black guy) looks nothing like him and can be clearly seen during many parts.

Why can Matrix not break the chains that were holding him down at the beginning, but can easily break the lock and chain when he breaks into the warehouse?

When Matrix is in the gun shop, you see him take the missle launcher off the wall, but then in another sceen, it is back on the wall again. Also, watch how easily Cindy runs with the missle launcher to the shopping cart. I guess those things don't have any weight to them.

The police are marching Matrix out of the gun shop, they didn't even put hand-cuffs on him! I think I would put hand-cuffs on a guy who just smashed open a gun shop and was stealing all the guns he could get into his hands.

When Matrix and Cindy are getting into the plane, the guys on the docks are shooting at the plane. You see several bullets make holes on the right side of the door. Later when you see the plane, the holes are gone.

When Matrix is rowing the raft towards the shores, if you look behind him, he is clearly rowing the raft towards open sea, with no island in sight.

When Matrix hits the button to blow up the village, you can clearly see that there are only carboard stand-ups of men next to the buildings blowing up. Also, for some reason the top of the - blows up when Matrix never put a bomb there.

At one point when Matrix is having that huge battle on the island (ya know, him versus a hundred soldiers), he gets behind some bushes for cover. While there, you see the bush RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM getting hit by gunfire, but for some reason, the bullets never hit Matrix. I guess plants stop bullets.

When Matrix is fighting Bennet at the end of the movie with knives, there is one point where Bennet has Matrix up against a wall. Matrix has his left hand up holding Bennet's on-coming knife. If you look, Matrix's right hand is just at his side not doing a damn thing! Why isn't he hitting Bennet with that hand?

I also think it's funny how Bennet can get zapped by massively high voltage at the end of the movie and still come back punching.
