Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Swoff is getting his first firing training to be a Scout Sniper, his first shot is fired and he scores a hit on the upper right side of the target in the head. When he re-chambers to prepare for his next shot and we see through his cross-hairs, his last shot appears to have been a bullseye in left center of the head.
The desert locations were scouted in the summer months. When filming actually began, it was in the winter after rain, so vegetation had sprung up on what was supposed to be barren land. All of this had to be removed, often digitally.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): In Anthony Swofford's sunglasses, a cameraman is visible.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Flipped shot: As Swofford says, "My war experience has begun," and sand is falling in his face, the two moles on his face appear both as he is shown in right and left profile.
