Goofs

The yellow Porsche is damaged in the side collision with the red convertible, but when Matrix flips it upright and drives off in it, the side is undamaged.

When Matrix is gearing up to go and find Jenny, he paints his arms and face with camouflage paint and then puts on his combat vest and you see his chest is unpainted. Yet later on when he gets caught in the grenade blast and takes it off, his chest is painted.

When Matrix is raiding the surplus store and enters the hidden room full of guns, he grabs the rocket launcher off the wall and hands it to Cindy. After he says "Go!" and she leaves the room with the rocket launcher, the next shot of Matrix shows it hanging on the wall again.

When Matrix is surprised by the barking dog in the cage on the airliner, the dog keeps barking at something else and pays no attention to Matrix as he moves away from the dog's cage.

When Matrix enters the shopping mall, it's daylight. When he leaves only a few minutes later, it's dark outside.

When Matrix crashes his car while chasing Sully, neither Matrix nor Cindy are affected by the crash even though neither are wearing seat belts and the crash was powerful enough to severely damage the front end.

When Cindy fires the rocket launcher the second time, the recoil knocks her back. But when she accidentally fired it backwards the first time, there was no recoil.

When Matrix and Cindy are looking at the fuel receipts Cindy says "That's amphibian" fuel. There is no specific fuel type for amphibious airplanes.

When Matrix escapes from the aircraft during take-off, he leaves doors open and breaks down sealed curtains. This would set off alarms in the cockpit and leave the aircraft depressurized, and therefore unable to complete its flight.

A flight attendant tells Matrix that the plane will land in Val Verde in "exactly 11 hours" and makes no mention of a refueling stop somewhere en route, either during that conversation or in the public address announcement made moments before. However, the aircraft in question is a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-10, which has a maximum range of 3,800 miles or about 7 hours.

The Latin man who had been talking with Sully at the mall runs out wielding a gun when he wasn't under suspicion or attack.

This man is not aware of the situation with Matrix, so with Sully suddenly running out of the bar and police officers swarming the place and firing guns, he naturally assumes that they are there because of the illegal activity he was conducting with Sully.

In the parking lot of the airport, Matrix had the perfect opportunity to attack Sully in secrecy, yet he waits for Sully to arrive at a crowded mall full of guards before enacting a plan to do that.

Matrix is following Sully to see where he goes and if he leads him to someone else involved with the kidnapping, if he just grabs him in the parking lot, Sully will refuse to say anything just as he does following the car chase.

When Matrix is "shopping" he puts many guns in the cart but he grabs the pistol and the shotgun shells after he tells Cindy to leave with the cart. Then he is arrested and the weapons that he grabbed after Cindy left are obviously confiscated, yet when he suits up on the beach for battle the pistol is one of the weapons he has and during the shootout the shotgun is fully loaded.

We don't see all of the items that Matrix had already loaded up prior to his arrest.

Soon after Matrix drops Sully down the cliff Cindy asks Matrix "What did you do with Sully?" Cindy mentions Sully's name even though she hasn't heard it yet.

There were plenty of opportunities during their car rides together, such as when they were initially following him from the airport, for Matrix to tell Cindy that his name is Sully.

When Cindy asks "What did you do with Sully?" surely she must have known he'd been dropped off the cliff as she was standing about five metres away?

Aside from the fact that this is merely a set-up for a joke, she could have had her head turned at the moment Matrix dropped Sully, or simply have been a bit dazed following the car accident she was just in.

When the red car slams into the lamppost after the chase with Sully, the head of the "Cindy dummy" flies off.

When Matrix is climbing up the cliff at the island, you can see that the shotgun on his back is made out of rubber.

In shots of the seaplane near the island, you can see the struts of the landing gear indicating that the gear is extended to the down position. However, in a water landing the wheels would remain retracted. The wheels would only be extended if they planned on taxing the plane up a ramp onto dry land. This probably indicates that, for easier filming of those static shots, the plane was parked on its wheels on a slipway rather than further out at sea as it is supposed to be.

When Matrix and Cindy are about to take off in the plane, the daylight varies. When they are filmed from outside it's about to get dark, from inside it's the middle of the night, and then it's about to get dark again.

When the buildings blow up in the military compound, not only is it obvious that they are totally empty, but also that they are made of cardboard or plywood.

When Matrix tells Cooke that "I eat Green Berets for breakfast" you never see his lips move when he says "And right now I'm very hungry."

During the scene where Bennett and Matrix are fighting, they have each other's throats in their hands and one of their backs is against the furnace. While they are grunting and groaning, if you listen carefully, you can hear someone say "switch" just before they change positions.

The military helicopters used in the movie are turbine-powered Bell Jet Rangers but the rotor/engine sound is from the older, piston-powered models such as the Model 47.

During the final battle on the island, gunfire can be clearly heard in the background, yet Matrix is the only person shooting.

When the soldiers surround the shack and are finished firing at it, you can hear a shotgun blast which nobody has shot.

In the final battle scene, several times when someone is blown into the air by a grenade you can see the ram that throws them into the air.

After Matrix holds up Cindy for the first time, Cindy drives off and the crew is reflected in Matrix's side of the car.

At the beginning of the movie, an assassin holds a remote controlled detonator. In the next scene as the fishing boat pulls away from the dock, a detonation wire can be seen trailing behind the boat.

Matrix looks at the coordinates which are N33°13' W119°18' and says "These coordinates are somewhere near Santa Barbara." Those coordinates are nowhere near Santa Barbara, they're at San Nicholas Island, 87 miles off its coast. However, when he finds them on the map, he points right to San Nicholas island.

Matrix and Cindy's fly west towards the island, yet prior to arriving at the island, the sun is seen rising.

Matrix decides to off Sully because he "already knows" where he was going to meet with Cooke. However, all Matrix had to go on was a motel room key. Cooke could have met with Sully anywhere, and at an undisclosed time.

Matrix loudly knocks a guy out on a plane without anyone batting an eye, including the resting passengers in front of him.

During the fight with Cooke in the motel, Matrix mocks the fighting abilities of the Green Berets, which is the nickname of the U.S. Army's Special Forces. Everything in the film indicates Matrix himself is a former Green Beret, including wearing an Army Special Forces belt buckle.

After Bennett's reply to Matrix's vow that he'll be back, he drives away and the boom operator and his microphone are reflected in the rear passenger-side window of the car.

Matrix, a former Army Special Forces commando, secures his grenades to his tactical vest by tying the pins to a metal loop on the vest. No soldier with even a minimum of combat training would ever do this due the hazard of the pin being accidentally pulled out and killing yourself.

When Matrix prepares for is final assault, he loads his gear into a rubber boat and paddles it in dressed in a swimsuit. He is running out of time, and is entering hostile and unknown terrain. An experienced commando would have suited up in the plane and rowed in prepared to begin the assault as soon as they hit the shore.
