Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (factual errors): The gun mounted on top of the motorized turret can not be controlled by the turret as shown when the turret comes alive. The gun is a separate item mounted on top of the turret, not part of the turret's mechanical system.
Movie Goof (continuity error): At the kids baseball game, a steamroller bursts onto the field and the steering wheel falls off. Seconds later, as the machine is running over one of the players, the steering wheel is back on.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Bill and Handy are talking outside, after feeding the Trucks fuel, the camera and crew is reflected on the windows of the Dixie Boy. Then you can see an umbrella with people sitting under it.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Duncan is killed by the Truck there is blood all over the front grill and bumper. Later you see the Truck and there is no blood.
