During the Congressional hearing, Devoe is wearing the rank of Major. During the next scene, he is wearing Lieutenant Colonel's oak leaves. Was he promoted between scenes?

In a scene in Europe in a cobbled street, Dr Kelly is wearing a skirt. After they have stopped to talk to someone, she walks away in black trousers.

The damage Devoe sustained in the fight in the back of the truck disappears and reappears throughout the end of the movie. Also, at times, the damage is extremely noticeable and looks very bad, at other times it can barely be seen.

When Dr. Kelly and Lt. Col Devoe first get to Vienna, she is clearly wearing taupe colored pumps. As they are walking out of the square with Dimitri, she is wearing black knee-high boots.

When Dusan has left the taxi and is walking on the streets carrying the backpack, the girl with the pink T-shirt appears three times during Dusan's walk: twice walking towards Dusan, and once in the same direction he's walking, just a few steps in front of him and to the left of him (in the right part of the screen). As he is walking faster than her, she appears just briefly amidst the crowd.

The helicopter used to yank the cluster of missiles from the truck as it falls off the bridge, the HH-65, doesn't have the load capacity to sling-load that much weight. It would have gone down as fast as the truck.

Near the end of the Town Square scene in Vienna, Col. Devoe spins the rear wheels of the Mercedes, one of which has a flat tire and is backed up to a curb, which causes sparks to land on some spilled fuel. This wouldn't happen because the Mercedes had aluminum wheels and aluminum doesn't make sparks. Not to mention that, if Dimitri Vertikoff was making his Mercedes into a rolling tank with bullet-proof glass and the other features he mentioned, he would've had run-flat tires installed.

After the truck with the weapons has been spotted, by satellite, one of the staff members is asked how long it will be until the satellite is out of range, and he replies; "1 hour 46 minutes". For a satellite in low Earth orbit, this is how long it would take for it to make a complete orbit of the Earth. In fact it would be out of range within 10 minutes.

When the three American helicoptors are going in to destroy the truck, but are threatened by Russian groud-air missles, they say "we repeat". Repeat in military terms means "Repeat Fire" or "Fire Again". The correct term should have been "We say again".

Despite the fact that United Nations was deeply involved in war in Bosnia, IFOR forces were not allowed to search private houses and apartments.

In his tape, Gavrich says, "I am a Serb. I am a Croat. I am a Muslim." This is his way of saying, "I am Everyman," not a specific declaration of his religion, so crossing himself is not inconsistent.

When Dr. Kelly is trying to determine what the reference 44-E refers to and looks at a map, she follows the 44 degree latitude. The reference would refer to the 44 longitude. Latitudes are designated as north or south, longitudes are designated as east and west.

The files transferred from Shummaker's computer are in English, not German. English is the lingua franca of international commerce, so as an employee of a multinational company, this isn't too unlikely.

In photographs of the truck supposedly taken by satellite, foreground objects are larger than those in the background. This kind of perspective would not be visible in an image taken by satellite.

During the Devoe/Kodoroff fight, George Clooney's stunt double can easily be recognized in multiple shots.

When Dr. Kelly asks CPN Beach how much time is left to track the truck with the satellite, he replies there's another 45 minutes remaining. However, the computer still shows the target in range having the original 1 hour and 46 minutes left.

From the satellite thermal image of the train collision, Lt. Col. Devoe points out that the engine crew jumped out before the collision. But in the thermal image on the screen the engine crew was shown jumping to the right of the engine's ongoing direction. But in the earlier scenes, the engine crew was seen jumping to the left of the engine's ongoing direction.

When the train is raided for its cargo, some electronic equipment is attached to the cargo. That equipment has a control panel with Cyrillic (Russian) script on it. The commander of the raid has a remote control device in his hand. That device has English lettering on it.

It was asked, "What about NPIC?" That refers to the National Photographic Interpretation Center. However, NPIC became part of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (now NGA) in 1996 and the movie was set in 1997.

When the elevator arrives on floor 18 (around the 1:36 mark), a "down" chime is heard, as Gavrich is heading down, yet the call button stays lit.

As Devoe and Kelly are walking to the car after leaving Schuhmacher's office, a crew member can be glimpsed crouching down by the car's radiator grille (possibly only visible in 4:3 fullscreen version of movie).

During the chase scene in Vienna, after Devoe speeds forward to avert the BMW speeding forward to broadside the MB. When the scene cuts back to the BMW crashed in the café, while the back tires are spinning, a car jack can be clearly seen under the car, raising the car just enough off the ground so the tires barely touch the pavement.

Since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia has no borders with Iran that Kodoroff can pass over to, carrying nuclear warheads with him. The three American choppers cannot directly pass the non-existing Turkish-Russian border to Russia.

The Pakistani colonel loads a nuclear bomb while general Kodoroff is watching - but the word KROJACH (KPOJA4) on one of the woven banners is in Serbian Cyrillic. The scene was shot in North Macedonia, even though it is set somewhere in Russia.

The scene with the truck where the Pakistani handler comes on board shows the letter J in the word KROJACH. The scene is supposed to be set in Russia but there is no J in Russian Cyrillic - only in Macedonian and Serbian Cyrillic. Also, the word KROJACH is Serbian or Macedonian, not Azeri.

When we see a CNN reporter the subtitle says "Sarajevo, Bosnia", but the street we see behind her is not in Sarajevo.

Oddly, considering it is THEIR weapon missing, the Russians do precious little to assist in its recovery. That a Russian team isn't assisting or leading the hunt for the weapon is never explained in the narrative.

Why is the incorrect latitude "44E" even on the shipping records? Even if the terrorists were the ones who rented the truck, what possible purpose would placing this incriminating clue on the rental serve, especially as the truck was going to Iran, not New York?

The word "privileged" is misspelled as "priviledged" on Gavrich's suitcase as it is moving up the conveyor belt onto his plane.

As Julia and Thomas are attempting to disarm the bomb in the church, there is a pause button visible just above the timer. They could easily have pressed that, and waited for the bomb squad to arrive.

When talking to Kodoroff over the radio-phone, DeVoe reminds Kodoroff of the TV feeds from the "GBU missiles" during Desert Storm. GBU weapons are guided free-fall bombs, not missiles, as GBU stands for "guided bomb unit". A decorated Special Forces officer would know the difference.

Misspelling "600 Datensatze in Databank" (should be "600 Datensätze in Datenbank") when printing in Vienna.

Lt. Col. Tom Devoe (George Clooney) wears the ribbon for the Silver Star medal in some scenes with the V device for valor. The device is never worn on the Silver Star as all Silver Star medals are awarded for valor and as such, valor is to be assumed. The Silver Star ranks only below the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross as the third highest award for valor in the U.S. military.
