Movie Trivia/Goofs

The F-16 stolen by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner was actually a full-scale mock-up powered by a 350ci Chevrolet engine, if you look closely you can see the driveshafts running from the belly of the plane to the wheels on the landing gear.
The actors playing the tribesmen Arak, Barak, Karak, Sarak and Tarak were the members of the juggling troupe the Flying Karamazov Brothers.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Jack releases a rocket while sitting in the (fake) F-16, it clearly falls right in front of the left wheel, which should make moving forward impossible. Without anyone removing the fallen rocket the plane could not have moved forward.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Joan's footwear after leaping onto the train.
