• (Anachronisms) During many parts of this John Wayne western classic the stagecoach is seen running through wide tracks left automobiles as opposed to the thinner ones a stagecoach would leave. - deuce

• (Revealing mistakes) The scene when Aiden Quinn's character is in the infirmary trying to escape, he removes the nightstick from the prison guard. You can clearly see that it is a soft and wobbly prop, unlike a real nightstick. - andrabell

• (Continuity) In the scene where Maria and Chris have spent the night together and are waking up the next morning, Chris is getting dressed in a hurry. When he puts on his sneakers, they are on the wrong feet. As he runs through yards to avoid his police buddies catching him, they are back on the right feet. - Georgiagal64

• There is a boom mike visible at the top of the screen in the billiard scene with Ace and Charlie. (VHS) - Kay D

• Right after Teddy tries to "Dodge the train" and him and Chris "skin it," the boys walk back onto the railroad track. If you look closely at Vern's (Jerry O'Connell) feet, you can see his microphone box and wire (they are white) hanging out from the bottom of his pants. (VHS) - Kay D

• At the end when the kid fires the colt .45 automatic pistol he fires it once, then cocks the hammer for a second shot. A colt .45 does that automatically that's why its an automatic. - butthead

• When Rico receives his letter from Carmen the music in the back ground is Intense by Alisha's Attic why would they be listening this in the 23rd century. - Storm Trooper
  • Well, Alisha's Attic to them is like darn old classical music to us.

• The state of the handkerchief in Rico's front pocket changes throughout the scene where he gets ready for the school dance. - Steven

• While defending the outpost where they are grossly outnumbered, you get a close look of their weapons. Modified bullbup mini-14's, which have been manufactured since the late 1980's. So much for the super high tech weaponry of the future, eh? - leroy

• When the Drill Instructor throws the knife into ----'s hand, blood comes out before the knife hits it. But you must watch the scene in slo-mo. - David

• Carmen's arm gets stabbed by a particular bug with such force and with such a big sharp blade, that her arm would be rendered useless. So she shouldn't be able to use her rifle with such ease as she does afterwards. - steelflesh

• Why do they even use men with guns instead of some kind of air planes, or autonomous M1 - Abrams tanks (like in that one scene where they bomb the hell out of the bugs advancing on their position) and why do they use still use standard fully automatic gas powered machine guns. You would think, at the pace we are technologically advancing right now, that those types of guns would be decommission by the military and in the place of them, some kind of "lazers" or something. - rock
  • Comment: Back in the 1950's, people thought everyone would have flying cars by the year 2000. Don't second guess the movie makers. Asking why wouldn't they be using this and that is not a goof. - mbmott21
  • Addition: Robert A. Heinlein included alot of hi-tech weaponry like Power Armor and mininukes. Only 300 hundred years from now i doubt the changes will be that massive as from 300 years ago. I liked what they did with the movie. The mininukes were included in the movie, only as a very rare thing. Anyway, this is not a spoof. I recommend you read the book, it's awesome. Or if you want to see high tech Starship Troopers stuff then see the animated series (which has its own storyline). - Nim

• This movie has one of the biggest plot holes in History. As big as the asteroid crashing on Buenos Aires, in fact. Okay, I know that they explained during one of the Network Flash that the bugs used asteroids to spread their eggs and colonize other planets. That could be understandable if those eggs could hibernate in the void of space for thousand of years, and if the Insectoids have a means to reach the asteroids (maybe with the plasma-firing bugs). I’m not discussing that. However, how the hell would they sent one asteroid to the Solar System and pinpoint it to the Earth? Asteroids usually don’t leave their system, and they don’t travel at the speed of light. So, since it would have taken BILLIONS of years for it to cross the distance between the Solar System and the Bugs’s system, how come the asteroid was attributed as an attack from the Insectoids, which humanity discovered only a few years ago? The only conceivable hypothesis I see is that the human propagandists accused the Bugs in order to feed the war, after a perfectly accidental asteroid hit Buenos Aires. But then it would suggest that everybody on Earth was gullible enough to swallow that. - St Fan

• In the scene where Julia Robert's character (Shelby) is having a seizure, a "magic" glass filled with orange juice must have been used. As the scene moves from character to character then back to the held juice glass, the levels keep vacillating. What's up with that or is it just me? (TV) - GrandmaSan
  • Explanation: Evidently GrandmaSan doesn't live around a diabetic. When a diabetic is having a seizure, they don't drink alot at a time, and they have a habit of spiting the juice back in the glass, or spitting it on you. - izzy

• When Ouiser brings over tomatoes to Truvy's, she grabs a Coke, goes over to a chair, sits, takes off her hat, and then burps. In the next cut with Truvy and Shelby, you see Ouiser's reflection in a mirror with her hat back on! (DVD) - RickG1469

• At the end of the movie, a dove lands on Patricia's hand, as a symbol of her reconciliation with god (and herself). now, the dove was supposed to be attracted to her because of this change. But notice how it starts feeding on whatever she is handing out. - Yann Ropers

• When Frankie is in the bathtub she reaches to pick up the dove feather and you can see the holes through her wrists already. She hasn't been attacked yet though! - thelegend

• I got this from the director's commentary on the DVD and I thought some people like might to know- after Frankie has open the package from her mum and after she makes a micro-coffee she picks up the rosary in one hand but in the following close-up shot it's in her other hand. - Jesus

• The McKenzie brothers are in court and they are asked if they will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Both brothers agree to this, and then Bob asks a question. The judge bangs on his gavel, yells 'order, order' and Bob promptly tells the judge what he would like to eat, thinking he is in a restaurant. True, the brothers aren't rocket scientists, but I seriously doubt that even Bob is that stupid to actually think that the judge wanted him to 'order' a meal. - Tracy
  • I haven't seen this movie, but what you described sounds like a joke in a comedy movie - not a goof.
  • Comment: Good God, Tracy; you need help... BIGTIME! - Cren

• Shadows change when they shouldn't: During the tennis match, shadows cast by the players and linesmen change direction in contrary ways. The game starts about the middle of the day but the shadows indicate some shots were played in the late afternoon, followed by some in the early morning and some about noon. The sequence is repeatedly jumbled any which way. - Soma

• Shadows don't change when they should: The Official Time clock that shows 4.22 casts shadows. When the clock is next seen it is 5.24 but the shadows have not changed. - Soma

• When the wife of the main character is murdered, her glasses are seen lying on the ground near her. The reflection in the glasses should be a mirror image, but it is not. Near the end of the movie, Brunno loses his cigarette lighter in the gutter, but he calls it a cigarette case. (TV) - Utah Trader

• At the beginning of the film when Dustin Hoffman and Susan George are driving and then suddenly stop, the reflection of the camera can be seen twice. One time in the window of Hoffman's side of the car, the other in the window of George's side of the car. - David

• In the scene where the old drunk is trying to get in to David's (Dustin Hoffman) house and David blows off the drunk's foot, if you watch subsequent shots there is substantially less damage. - David

• (Continuity) Sara Jessica Parker goes to a party with Bruce Willis and she is wearing a strapless dress showing her bare shoulders.

Ramis throws the six bucks at Murray. The next scene has Murray laying face up with three of the dollars face down on his chest. The camera cuts back to Ramis for a shot. Upon the shot returning to Murray, there are now 5 or 6 dollar bills, a couple of them face up, on Murray's chest. - Kieth Moreland

• The Little family lives across the street from Central Park, where the traffic actually runs North to South, not vice-versa. - Kevin K.

• That sailboat racing scene seems to combine at least two different ponds that don't really connect. (Of course, since mice don't really talk, maybe these observations are moot.) - Kevin K.

• When Stuart is talking to George from the phone booth, he speaks through the ear piece. (Theatre) - alman

• When the car gets hijacked in the beginning, one of the hijackers smashes the passenger window with the butt of his gun- at which point you can clearly see there is no magazine in it. A few moments later, he shoots the same gun. - Scott

• (Anachronisms) In the beginning of the movie which is supposedly taking place in 1977, the song "Grace of God" is playing in a club. "Grace of God" didn't come out until 1979.

• (Anachronisms) One of the guys in the film is wearing a link chain throughout it. This type of link chain wasn't out until years later.

• (Anachronisms) In one scene there is a POW/MIA flag being flown on a building. The POW flag was not flown regularly during this time period. It was first flown on National POW/MIA Recognition Day in 1988. The flag was around prior to this but has been modified to the one we see flying today. Mrs Huff an MIA wife was the designer. (DVD) - ddrasner

• (Anachronisms) If you watch when they smoke, Marlboro miles didn't come out until the early 90's. - Jenn

• (Anachronisms) In the film, outside the punk club, several of the girls have various facial and body piercings. The type of jewelry(captive bead and barbells) that they are wearing does not come into use until the mid-late eighties. Also one of the girls has a tongue piercing, which was also first performed and popularized in the late eighties early nineties. Many retro films that feature punk rockers or S/M themes make mistakes of this type. - glowimperial

• Bad dubbing seems to be the error of the day here. In some scenes when a character is speaking, they are moving their mouth but the words are not coming out at the same time. This error happens throughout the movie. - Caitlin

• You know how Mr. Schoop gets mad and throws away his dog's (watermut) toy BOB. It was a cut off head of a rag doll and he throws it in the water. Well later on in the movie when he gets Watermut a new doll and cuts off the head, Mr. Schoop says "Look Watermut, I found Bob". The only problem is the camera shot doesn't show his mouth moving when he is saying it. - Tbone

• After the blast, when Ryan reaches into the copter to adjust the radio, the control designations on the radio are backwards - the image was obviously flipped. (Theatre) - Scott

• After Jack Ryan's helicopter is knocked to the ground by the shockwave of the nuclear explosion, he uses the helicopter's radio to call for help. The electromagnetic pulse associated with nuclear detonations would have rendered the radio inoperable. (Theatre) - Gordon3968
  • Correction: Jack Ryan uses the military radio on the helicopter and is able to communicate through because it is a vacuum tube radio, thus not affected by the electromagnetic pulse after the nuclear bomb explosion. He knows his cell phone is useless. - barney

• When Jack Ryan is searching for clues near ground zero, he uses his cell phone to call someone for info. A nuclear device would have rendered all cellular phone towers in the area useless. (Theatre) - Gordon3968

• When the helicopter that Jack Ryan is riding in is knocked to the ground by the shockwave from a nuclear detonation, it rolls over and the pilot's body seems to be partially ejected through the right side of the helicopter. Ryan climbs from the wreckage only to see the dead pilot in the seat on the left side of the helicopter. (Theatre) - Gordon3968

• When they show the football game the arena is a dome. Baltimore is an open stadium. Also when they show the ariel view of Baltimore, the stadium is an open arena and there are no people there even though it is the Super Bowl. (Theatre) - mercedes81

• Based on the previous Jack Ryan movies -- this movie would be about 15 years before Patriot Games. Which would make it in the 80's sometime. Therefore, the technology is all wrong. They use Netscape messenger for the instant messages, and Netscape didn't come into existence until 1994. They also have Windows XP or perhaps ME as their operating system. (Theatre) - Jen
  • Comment: Jen points out that based on the previous Jack Ryan movies, certain software is out of place. She's right, IF, we base it on the previous series. But Sum of All Fears was meant to be a 'stand alone' and separate movie from the series. To watch this movie we must forget the others. The bonus material in the DVD explains it all. (DVD) - Kieth Moreland

• (Factual errors) If a nuclear blast went of in stadium full of people when the robot was driving around you would probably see some bodies, or pieces of bodies. - KrazyKid13

• Has anyone ever wondered how Lois Lane, a newspaper reporter, can afford a penthouse apartment? - Soulman
  • Well, what do we actually know about Lois Lane? Maybe a relative left her a fortune, or maybe she sells drugs on the side. Or, when Superman has finished off some bank robbers Lois grabs the stolen money and puts it in her own pocket when Superman is looking the other way. Maybe Superman is paying Lois money in exchange for some bedroom action. I could go on, but it's best for us all if I don't.

• Superman stops a jewel thief from climbing up a building with suction cups which makes the thief fall towards the ground. The thief has a flash light hanging from his belt which in the first shot when he is fall is pointing towards the ground, but in the second shot it is pointing towards the build, but in the last shot it is pointing towards the ground again. - Magnes

• When General Zod and his evil friends invade earth, they initially land in this small town. He lifts a man into the air with his mind over matter power. This is a hick town in Montana or Idaho I think. Yet the man's son pleads for Zod to "Release my Daddy" in what is clearly a British dialect. Why? What's this little lord Fauntleroy doing living in this one horse American town? - Dave

• When Mary-Catherine's hyper friend approaches her to tell her about the talent contest, she is spinning a basketball on her finger. The ball is spinning way too slow to stay balanced on her finger, and later you can see her pulling her finger off of whatever is keeping it stuck to the ball. - KilljoyTheKlown

• (Revealing mistakes/errors in geography) The highway scenes were filmed not too far from me and it's only about a 3 mile stretch of highway. If you notice they actually only use about 1/2-1 mile of it over and over again in the chase scene in the begriming. And again throughout the movie. When they exit during the pursuit they went to somewhere else cause that's not off the highway where filmed. - Hognewyork

• When father, Fritz, and Ernst are on the boat trying to get extra lumber, pirates come for the second time. (The first time being right before the storm) Ernst (the smart one) says "At least we have something to fight back with now", after looking at the cannon on deck. The thing is, the cannon had to have been on the boat the whole time in order for it to be at sea with them. They could have used the cannon to chase away the pirates the first time. (VHS) - alicat
