You cannot simply melt Kevlar and pour it into a mold as was done to create the bullet proof helmet. Kevlar is a fire resistant fabric.
Howard Little's 3D glasses disappear and reappear between shots.
When escaping in Germany, the Hummer's left rear tire is shot out, but after they smash through the airport guard shack, the right rear tire is blown out and the left rear is fine.
After the cop tries and fails to shoot Hannibal in the head he chucks the gun into the pile of boxes to his right. However, when Hannibal manages to uncuff himself the gun is on the floor to his side.
When Sosa is talking to Face at the kiddie pool, Murdock is right behind them barbecuing. One second later in the next scene cutting to B.A. working on his motorcycle, Murdock pops up behind the motorcycle with his Percy hand puppet. In the next scene one second later, Murdock is still behind Face and Sosa barbecuing.
To replace a firing pin in a 1911 requires at the very least a punch and a retainer plate. It would have been impossible for Hannibal to simply drop the firing pin into his pistol and have it function, as there is a spring that provides constant rearward pressure and must be put under tension before the retaining plate can be slid into place.
AC-130 Spectre gunships can't fire ahead of their position, and don't swoop in on a target. They circle at altitude and fire on a target with the guns on the port side.
Commissioned officers are not "Dishonorably Discharged" from the service, they are "Dismissed." While the effect is the same, the terminology is different. Of the four A-Team members, only Sergeant B.A. Baracus - the sole enlisted member of the team - would receive a Dishonorable Discharge.
At the beginning of the film Face is shown to be a First Lieutenant, and Murdock is shown to be a Captain. Eight years later they are both in the same pay grade as the beginning of the film. This is highly unlikely (even for Special Forces) since promotion for officers in the US Military happen on a very strict time-line. If Face had been promoted to First Lieutenant the day before the movie took place, after eight years he still would have been promoted to Captain (usually two years after promotion to First Lieutenant at the time of filming), and almost ready for promotion to Major (usually six years after promotion to Captain, at the time of filming). Likewise, Murdock should have been a Major after eight years, and possibly a Lieutenant Colonel (usually within six years of promotion to Major, at the time of filming), depending on how much time he had as a Captain at the beginning of the movie. Hannibal, as a Colonel at the beginning of the film, could conceivably be excused, since United States law limits the number of General Officers who can be on active at any given time, however eight years in the same pay grade is still a long time for a Colonel to go without promotion and stay on active duty.
During the trial of Colonel Smith and his men, Smith asks, "Why hasn't Blackforest been brought to trial?" The General on the panel tells Smith that they are not subject to UCMJ action. However, Army civilians and private military contractors on the battlefield operating with the US military are subject to UCMJ and can be brought to military trial.
The M1 Abrams tank's main gun is not equipped with an autoloader, but though the characters fired their tank's gun repeatedly, they are never shown reloading it. The tank depicted in the film, however, is not an Abrams but an experimental M8 'Buford' Armored Gun System, whose 105mm rifled gun was indeed equipped with an autoloader.
During the trial, Lt. Peck is seen wearing a Ranger Tab and a Special Forces Tab on his uniform. In reality, it is impossible for a 2nd Lieutenant to be awarded a Special Forces tab. Officers cannot attend Special Forces Qualification Course until they have at least reached the rank of 1st Lieutenant and are promotable to Captain. It is, however, possible for a 2nd Lieutenant to have been awarded a Special Forces tab had he earned it while enlisted, and later in his career gone to OCS and received a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant.
Murdoch states in the film, "Don't worry boys, turbulence has never brought down a plane." This is untrue as BOAC Flight 911 crashed due to turbulence after flying over Mt Fuji in Japan.
Murdock is crazy, though, so not necessarily everything he says makes sense or is true or has normal communication objectives.
When the tank is parachuting from the downed plane, Face climbs out and begins firing the gun at the drones. There are spent shells falling all around him. However, when 2 of the chutes are severed and the tank tips forward, none of the shells fall off, even though there is nothing holding them to the top of the tank.
When in Iraq, CIA officer Lynch and the Blackforest team are shown wearing body armor. In reality, what they are wearing are simply armor plate carriers, and offer no protection from any bullets or shrapnel.
During the shootout on the Docks, the gunmen are firing on the second BMW, but as it flips you can see that it has no drive shaft or gearbox.
At the airport check in desk, when Murdock and BA have the wrong passports the guard checking Murdock's passport can be heard on his radio saying there is a problem at Station 6. However, when we see the desk from the front, it has the number 4 on it.
When Face leaves Sosa handcuffed in the photo booth, she attempts to unlock them. You can clearly see one of the shackles is not attached to anything
The engraving plates are supposed to date from the 1970s (Shah of Iran reference), yet in close-up they are the "large headed" modern design.
A number of military units which once existed in the past are mentioned as if they are still active formations. Some of the A-Team's members are said to be former members of the 4th Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and General Morrison apparently commands the 8th Infantry Division in Iraq. However, the real 4th Ranger Battalion was disbanded after sustaining massive casualties in Italy during World War II. Likewise, the actual 8th Infantry Division had been disbanded in 1992. However, the decision to use these units may have been to intentionally distance the film, its characters, and events from reality while maintaining a degree of 'authenticity.'
General Tuco is wearing Oakley Inmate sunglasses, a model not available in 2002 when the prologue takes place.
When the team "borrows" a C-130 transport plane, an inertia starter sound as would be common on a radial piston engine is heard. The C-130 uses turbo-shaft engines to drive its propellers, and hence sound quite a lot like any other jet engine when starting, with the exception of prop noise once pitch is applied.
When Murdock is trying to restart the helicopter engine there's a sound of a piston dubbed over but that helicopter doesn't have pistons.
During the chase scene with Tuco, when Murdock barrel rolls the helicopter, he yells, "I have never tried this before!" but when the camera returns to his face, you can see he is either talking in a normal tone, or is saying something completely different.
When Lt. Sosa and Face are talking about their relationship around the kiddie pool, the crew are visible in her sunglasses.
When the arrest is made in Germany, a wired crew member is visible when the car stops and Sosa steps out.
The aerial shot labeled "Frankfurt" does not show Frankfurt, but Cologne. Major landmarks like the cathedral and the Hohenzollernbridge are clearly visible.
There are no mountains near Frankfurt, Germany.
During the shot in "Frankfurt," where one climbs down the skyscraper, you can see a building (tower) on the left which isn't located in Frankfurt. Also the bird's-eye view of the street shows several yellow cabs, but Frankfurt has no yellow taxis.
After the mission briefing of Hannibal Smith in Frankfurt, Frankfurt Central Station is shown. It is not Frankfurt Central Station but Cologne Central Station. On the left the famous Cologne Cathedral is shown. (The Central Station of Frankfurt is a dead-end station with five concourses, located south of the bank quarter.)
An aerial view of "Baghdad" is really Sanaa, Yemen.
If Hannibal only had the 1 firing pin to unlock 1 of his handcuffs (and then slotted it into his pistol), how could he unlock his other handcuff to then handcuff the dogs? It's still attached to his wrist as he disappears into shadow.
After Hannibal breaks Face out of prison, Face states he would have had his parole hearing "in a few days". This would be impossible considering the 4 were sentenced to 10 years and the time scales states "Six Months later".
The German woman at the lake calls her dynamite fishing husband "Schwindler", which is one possible literal translation of the subtitled "Cheater". A real German however would not call someone a "Schwindler" in this context, but rather use the verb "schummeln".
In the montage near the end of the film, Murdock's name is misspelled "Murdoch" on one of the military forms.
Central to the plot, the engraving plates, the billion dollars and a machine called "the mint". A "mint" is a facility, not a printing press, where the government produces coinage and only coinage. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces all of the paper money.
When they capture the Arab there are some "very big" signs in the background at the construction site. One says "Für Fussgänger und Radfahrer gesperr" (Means "closed for pedestrians and cyclists". There are two spelling mistakes though, "gesperr" misses a "t" (gesperrt) and in it's "Fußgänger", not "Fussgänger". Furthermore Signs like the "Betreten der Baustelle verboten"-one ("construction site - no trespassing") in Germany they are not as big as they're displayed there.
During a conversation in Lynch's office, a German news broadcast with Chancellor Angela Merkel can be seen on a TV set in the background. The lower third reads "Sonstige allgemeine Nachricht" ("Other general news"), which is a very strange term that would never be used on German TV.
