Goofs

During the firefight with the black clad "ninja" assault team, one of the "ninjas" is shown to have an M203 grenade launcher attached to his M16. When he fires it at the running Cole he fires three times in a span of about 5 seconds. This should not have been possible, as the M203 is not a semi-automatic weapon. It is a single shot grenade launcher with a rate of fire of about 5-7 rounds per minute (about one shot every ten seconds).

User Reviews

The Mauser Rifle that wasn't! But still a Good Flick!

I found this movie well thought out and for the most part well executed. However, it most glaring flaw was with its technical aspects. In the scene, where the underground partisan, Sophia, brings Sgt. Beckett beneath a tavern, to a store of WWII arms. Sgt. Beckett picks up a rifle and calling it a German 8mm Mauser. But in reality it is a Russian 7.62 Mosin Nagant, to which he adds the proper Russian sniper scope and mount. I was very surprised at this and wonder who was at fault. But otherwise, I felt this film is another success for Tom Berenger.
