- Movie Goof (factual errors): General Mark 'Stonewall' Jackson, played by Alex Cord, is wearing a Class A uniform that is noticeably lacking in any sort of identification, nor unit patches on either of the sleeves. However the biggest inaccuracy is that the character is an Army General, but his rank insignia on his epaulets are Silver Oak Leaves (which makes him a Lt. Colonel). Since he is referred to as "General" (and never addressed as Brigadier, Major or Lt. General), then he would have a four star rank.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): Early in the film, when Dr. Karen Watkins drives up to the office, her car leaves slightly whitish tire tracks. When she backs away and drives out, the tire tracks are very noticeable and dark-colored. These marks are not behind any other cars in view.
- There is a reference made to "the Makati Incident," near Mount Pinatubo during the summer of 1971, where supposedly the entire village of Mikati, Philippines were killed by a release of poisonous gas. In actuality, Makati City is 60 air-miles southeast of the volcano, just on the other side of Manila. The incident is fictitious.
- Movie Goof (factual errors): The hero says a certain isotope of Lithium would, in a large enough concentration at normal or near-normal temperature and pressure, blow-up in a thermonuclear (fusion) explosion. It is contrary to physics as known today for any isotope of Lithium or any other element could spontaneously form a thermonuclear explosion except under circumstances of extreme pressure and temperature such as exists in the core of a star like the Sun.
