Goofs

Revealing mistakes: During the scene on the raid of the second house, the scene is shot from under a bed. A grenade is rolled into a room and the soldiers leave. When they return they start shooting. The shells that hit the ground are clearly blanks, as can be seen from the shell tips. See more »
