• If you look down the barrels of some of the M-16's you can see that there is something inside of the barrel that would prevent bullets from escaping. I'm guessing this is because these are "blank" guns. - David

• When ------ gets shot through his chest, you can clearly see that he has an extended chest to accentuate the hole in it. - David

• In one of the traps Arnold sets for the predator, you can clearly see that a rope moving up was clearly added later, it was practically glowing! - David

• When ----- gets his head blown up, you can clearly see it is a dummy head. - David

• When Blain is firing the big chaingun in the rebel base, in one scene you can see a power lead dangling from his trousers. Apparently such a gun needs something like four car batteries to run. Now, with this in mind, how is this soldier going to find a power socket in the middle of the jungle. - Shrill

• In a scene where Arnold and his team are attacking this military base, he shots a high explosive round at a Russian officer. The round acts like a shotgun shell and blows the Russian through a wall. - Shrill

• A long time has passed since I saw this, but I remember this scene well. Some guy impales a scorpion with a knife then crushes it underneath his boot. As his boot lowers on it you can see it crawling forwards towards his boot's toe. This means its head lines up with his toe, and its tail with his heel. Yet when he lifts up his boot that scorpion has suddenly flipped around and has its head in line with his heel and not his toe! - Jagannatha

• When the Predator shoots off Carl Weather's arm, you can clearly see his real arm being held behind his back underneath his jacket when he turns side on to the camera. - orin boyd

• When the commandos are shooting up the clearing where they think the Predator is, several rifles with 30 round magazines take nearly 15-20 seconds to empty, instead of the average 2.6 seconds they should take.

• When Anna falls down and tries to get away from Dillon and Poncho stops her, when she gets up you can see that one of the plastic zip ties that bound her hands has come off. - Outdoorsman

• When Anna escapes after hitting Poncho in the face, Dutch whistles for the men to chase her, except his mouth never moves to make the whistle sound. - Outdoorsman

• When Billy stops on the log to face the predator and he takes off his jacket, they show a body shot of him, but it is definitely not his body, it's too muscular. - Outdoorsman

• When Mac sees the Predator the first time after Blain has just been killed he fires off all of his rounds in his gun (not the gattling gun). Once he's done shooting if you look down the barrel you can clearly see it glowing red hot. This means the blank stopper is in there. - K-Gee

• It's weird that some of the most obvious goofs are not the ones mentioned here. I’ve seen the movie on VHS, so I don’t know if they corrected this on DVD version. In many of the infrared shots from the viewpoint of the Predator (essentially toward the end of movie) there’s a row of data at the bottom of the screen. Now, I can admit that his high-tech mask visor could display some info, but then I’d expect it to be in some alien language, and not in English and plain numbers. It looks more like the settings of the infrared camera. Oops! (VHS) - St Fan

• In the scene where Dillon gets his arm "removed" the Predator stabs him and picks him up, if you look at the bottom of the screen you see that a springboard picks him up. (VHS) - mike

• As Anna is falling down after being hit with the butt of Dutch's rifle, you can spot someone's hand grab Anna before she hits the floor. Maybe the cameraman. Who knows? (VHS) - Jake

• (Factual errors) When Billy crushes the scorpion under his boot after taking it off Dillon's shoulder, it is lying on a box or ledge, then you see through the predator's thermal vision, as he looks down at the glowing dead scorpion. How can this be when scorpions are cold blooded and have no body heat? - stephen

Commented Goofs

• When Dutch is watching the hostage through the binoculars and he (the hostage) is shot in the head, the blood pack goes off before the actual gun shot does. - Outdoorsman
  • Comment: This might make sense after all because light travels considerably faster than sound. So you would see the shot fired just before you hear it. - Todd

Corrected Goofs

• Predator's "shoulder cannon" makes a big mess when he shoots those two soldiers with it. Other guy's head explodes and other guy's chest explodes, but when he shoots at Arnold, that makes only a little scratch to his chest. - palikka
  • Comment: One it doesn't hit him in the chest, it hits him in the arm and two Arnold is the "hero" so killing him like that would make for a poor movie plus you wouldn't be able to see the big explosions at the end. - ash
    • Correction: The predator's shot at Arnie does not hit him in the arm either. If you watch in slow motion the shot was aimed at Arnie's rifle. The rifle splits in two and Arnie is wounded by shrapnel or whatever but not a direct hit. (Presumably, by now the Predator has decided that Arnie is the one to have a hand-2-hand with so he gets rid of Arnie's weapon). - Marty
• Just after the Predator picks up the scorpion, we see Billy holding his rifle, but without the shotgun underneath. Seconds later, the shotgun reappears. - Severd Hed
  • Correction: What Severd Hed refers to as a shot gun under Billy's rifle is hardly a shot gun. It's a M203 grenade launcher... and Dutch uses the cartridges for these to make his arrow head.

Explained Goofs

• After the rescue team destroys the guerrilla camp and kills everybody, Carl Weathers argues with a female hostage in Spanish. If you look behind them, you can see one of the corpses shake his foot. (VHS) - Jaska
  • Explanation: This comment is taken from the Pearl Harbor page, featuring a similar goof: It is a medical fact that sometimes dead bodies can twitch or move, it's a muscle spasm cause by trauma. Look it up. - Blanket
