• Movie Goof (anachronisms): The city Arzamas-16 was renamed Kremlyov in 1991 and since 1995 its official name is Sarov. It is possible that officers use the old name out of habit but that doesn't explain mistake in the forced subtitles.
• Dr. Elena Rhyzkov, a character mentioned in an early scene set in the CIA offices, was also a character in Phil Alden Robinson's Sneakers in which Rhyzkov was played by Lee Garlington, who also appears as Mary Pat Foley in this film.
• The wintry Moscow scene was shot in the summer, so the snow is artificial.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): The three primary effects of nuclear detonation -flash, heat and blast- are confused. In the blast scene from inside the hospital, the shock wave and flash of light arrive together. The only way for this to happen is if the hospital was right next to the stadium, in which case the hospital would be obliterated. Furthermore the heat from the blast appears to have no effect. Everyone else, further from the explosion, would first be blinded/burned by the light/heat before the shock wave would hit them -as the shock wave travels only at about the speed of sound. Also in the TV the blast in the stadium is seen the fraction of a second before the blast hits the hospital. Even with a direct link to the camera in the stadium the picture of the blast couldn't arrive earlier than the flash of the light from the bomb itself.
