Mexico, the first (GMC) dump-truck hits a car located in the street parked to stop it. After the crash you can see actual damages on the right side, the light and the metallic bumper of the truck. In subsequent scenes the side, the light and the bumper have no damage at all.

When in a two truck convoy traveling through the cartel-controlled area of Mexico, the first half of the trip features a GMC and an International dump truck. The second half features a GMC, still in the lead, but the second truck is now a Freightliner.

The bus which the terrorists left in was #14 (large no. above front windshield above front passenger) but they pulled into 'milk factory' and unloaded from #15.

While riding the rigid hull boats en-route to assault the Mexican town, Chief Dave's M4 does not have a AN/PEQ-15 laser sight. Later, during the assault on the town, he has one.

The radar towers on the two SWCC boats disappear when dropped into the water by the Chinook helicopters, and reappear after the crew mounts the weapons on them.

The lens used on the Canon 20D to take near photos of the weapon transport hasn't got anywhere near the magnification shown in the film. Thus, the viewfinder pictures are taken from a different position, or with a much bigger lens.

Motorcycle plate numbers in the Philippines comprise a 4-digit number followed by 2 letters. And though the ice cream truck bears a correct plate number convention for 4-wheel vehicles (3-letter and 3 number), the color of the plate is red, which is issued for government/official vehicles only.

At the beginning of the film, the spelling for the International School shall be 'Sekolah Internasional' instead of 'Seolah Internasional'; which is an Indonesian or Malay language not Philippines.

In the Navy, a Lieutenant out ranks both a Chief Petty Officer and a Senior Chief Petty Officer. So why is it that the Lieutenant in this movie is taking orders from both the Chief and the Senior Chief?

Otto is the LCPO or the LPO which stands for "Leading Chief Petty Officer" or "Leading Petty Officer." It can be confusing for civilians to understand the giving of orders in the military. It's not as simple as any lieutenant in the navy ordering around lower ranks. Officers and non-coms have billets, which are basically like jobs in the civilian world. The Leading Chief Petty Officer is a billet, not a rank. Otto's rank was/is senior chief petty officer, called casually "senior." The LCPO is chosen by the division commander (in this case probably the platoon commander). The platoon commander is usually a lieutenant. commander (equivalent to a major). He commands all the OICs of the individual SEAL teams assigned to that platoon, the boss. The platoon LCPO is an assistant to the commander. He's not personally giving orders to the lieutenant. He's relaying the lieutenant orders from the platoon commander, standing orders of the platoon, or he's tasking the lieutenant rather than ordering him.

When Dave uses his sidearm to engage the final terrorist attempting to enter the tunnel, the slide locks back each time he fires, indicating only one round was loaded during each take.

In the final scene, you can see the bullet squib on his left shoulder through his uniform.

All of the RPG missiles fired in the movie have red painted tips, signifying they they are inert dummy rounds.

After the team is picked up by the submarine, you hear the commander tell the chief of the watch to "submerge the ship to one six zero feet." While technically a ship, sailors assigned to submarines call them boats, and no sailor aboard a sub would call it a ship when referring to it.

LT Rorke's Grandfather's war flag should have had forty-eight stars, in six square rows of eight, but the flag he shows Chief Dave clearly has the staggered pattern of stars typical of a fifty-star National Ensign, which wasn't in use until Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union in 1959, fourteen years after World War Two ended.

It's also clearly a nylon flag. LT Rorke's Grandfather's war flag would have likely been cotton or wool.

While in Somalia taking pictures of "Bulldog" the Canon 20D (2004) viewfinder display shown is incorrect. Battery Power and ISO wasn't introduced until Canon 60D (2010).

When LT Rorke (Rorke Denver) is showing Chief Dave (SOC Dave) his Grandfather's flag, it's implied that it's the flag he carried in war WWII. His Grandfather served in WWII, but in WWII the US National Ensign only had forty-eight stars. Throughout WWII, the US was comprised of forty-eight states; the flag was briefly altered to include forty-nine stars in 1959 when Alaska was admitted to statehood, but later that year Hawaii was admitted, so the National Ensign has had fifty stars ever since.

LT Rorke's Grandfather's war flag should have had forty-eight stars, in six square rows of eight, but the flag he shows Chief Dave clearly has the staggered pattern of stars typical of a fifty-star National Ensign, so this is the wrong flag for his Grandfather to have carried in WWII.

The Foley artist chose the wrong sound effect for the camera used by the recon team in Somalia. The camera used is a Canon 20D digital SLR, while the sound produced when the operator releases the shutter is that of a 35mm film SLR with a motorized film drive. Since digital SLRs use an imaging sensor instead of film, they do not need a film advance drive and would not make that sound. Instead, you would hear the click of the shutter followed by a much more rapid whir of the shutter curtains being reset.

During the Jungle Raid, the second guard is shot and the three-man team emerges from the water. We see the lead SEAL's point of view as he makes his way on the embankment and after he passes below the larger tree branch, at least two silhouettes of crew members are clearly seen kneeling at the top of the bank on the right side of the screen behind the shrubs. The following shot is from the position of those crew members.

In the beginning, there are GPS coordinates for the Philippines. It says 30 degrees North on the super. Philippines lies between 11-17 degrees North latitude.

At the beginning of the film, there was a shot which is supposed to be in the Philippines, but if you look closely, some store names are printed in the Indonesian or Malay language. Also in the Philippines, there are no Buddhist spirit houses in any school grounds. The film showed a typical Thai/Cambodian school with spirit houses. The school uniforms were also typical of Thai/Cambodian students.

The male CIA Agent meeting up with Agent Morales in Costa Rica claims to have ridden his motorcycle from Colombia that day. There are no roads between Central and South American. The Pan-American Highway is broken up by a virtually impassable section called the Darien Gap. Vehicles have to be transported from one to the other.

When Weimy and Sonny are dispatched to Africa to conduct reconnaissance, they are accompanied by six additional SEALS when they parachute from the C130 into the ocean. When they rendezvous with the submarine, Weimy and Sonny enter the submarine alone, and the sub submerges immediately thereafter. The remaining men are not shown entering the submarine, so where did they go?
