Sky Fighters (2005)

Goofs

Sky Fighters

Edit

Continuity

When attacking the desert airbase in the recaptured Mirage 2000D, Capitaine Antoine "Walk'n" Marchelli (Benoît Magimel) fires a Matra 550 Magic IR AAM from the port outer pylon, which destroys a refuelling truck on the ground and the captured Mirage 2000-5 it is refuelling. In the next few shots the Mirage 2000D still has a Magic on the port outer pylon.

Factual errors

The Royal Australian Air Force officer is introduced as General Hudson. The RAAF doesn't have army ranks. It has ranks like the British RAF so he should have been called Air Chief Marshall Hudson. Also his uniform was not one from the RAAF.
When Walk'n ejects the terrorist pilot out of his Mirage 2000, the pilot is killed or is injured when his parachute fails to open. The Mirage 2000 (and all modern fighters) are equipped with modern "zero-zero" ejection seats, meaning aircrews could survive ejection at zero altitude and zero airspeed.
In the scene referenced above, a Matra Magic AAM destroys a fuel truck. The Magic is an air to air missile, and would not be able to lock onto, or track, a ground target.
The rogue F2000 stolen at the air show fires an infrared homing air-to-air missile on Vallois, whose plane is about 20 m ahead. The missile is a Matra RX550 Magic II; it requires a minimum 300 m distance in order to be fused so the aircraft would have denied the launch so close to the target.
When Vallois is chased down by the rogue F2000 stolen at the air show, he exclaims "fox 2" (twice), as if the radar warning receiver (RWR) of his aircraft had detected a radar acquisition. There is no such radar acquisition from a "fox 2" infrared missile launch since it is homing with a passive infrared captor. Therefore those missiles are undetectable by RWR.

Revealing mistakes

Airliner seen in first air combat scene is Airbus of manufacturers (EADS) own fleet. It's paint scheme is modified with CGI, but graphic artists didn't "repaint" it completely and it's original colors can be seen in wing as reflection.
