Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Vernon Wells wasn't the original actor cast to play Bennett. He did audition for the role, but another actor got it. On the first day of filming however, director Mark L. Lester fired the other actor and hired Wells. This is the reason that Bennett's clothes seem so tight, because Wells was bigger than the original actor, and the production didn't have time to make a new costume. Over the years, a rumor has developed that Wells originally auditioned for the part of Matrix, but this is false.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Right after Matrix and Henriques take their seats on the plane, the orange curtain behind Matrix switches from closed to open between shots. Shortly after that, as the fly hostess closes the curtain, she repeats the same movement twice.
