Goofs:
Factual errors: The most common rifle used by
the United States Police Foirce is the M-16 with the front handgrips removed.
Apart from making firing very uncomfortable, the hands of the shooters would be
in direct contact with the barrel, which becomes very hot.
Factual error: While briefing Hauk [Lee Van
Cleef]
about "David 14," Rehme [Tom Atkins] says the jet is "Seven miles out and closing." Even at a
leisurely 300mph [the cruising speed of the Convair 580 aircraft the Air Force
One model was based on], the plane would have reached them in under a minute and
a half. Yet they have plenty of time to get to the control center and ID the
aircraft before it even crosses the river.
Factual error: When Air Force One is heading
towards New York City [but before it is identified as the president's plane], it
is described as a "small jet". Besides the real-world fact that Air Force One is
and always has been a large passenger airplane, the footage of the plane makes
it clear it is a larger aircraft than described. It would have been more
accurate to describe it as a "commuter" or "passenger" aircraft even before they
found out it was Air Force One.
Continuity: The Air Force One plane
exterior was shown to be Sud Aviation SE210 Caravelle. However the interior was
actually a Boeing 747.
Incorrectly regarded as goof: The
American flag on the right-hand side of Air Force One's tail is not reversed. In
reality it would have the stars in the upper right to represent a real flag
moving forward. However, the flag could have been changed in the alternate
history within the movie.
Incorrectly regarded as goof: The
President [Donald Pleasence] is clearly British. In order to qualify for US presidency you must be
a natural-born US citizen and have lived in the US for 14 years, but he could
have been born in the US and grown up in the UK, moving back as an adult, or
even born abroad to US parents.
Continuity: When the United States
Police Force initially
go into New York immediately after Air Force One crashes, helicopter three is shown
landing, and a large chunk of the sticky back black plastic used to create its USPF livery is peeling off and missing from the tail section, revealing the
green US Army livery underneath. [The UH1 Huey used in this scene was on loan
from the Missouri National Guard.] When it takes off again a few moments later,
the tail is back to perfect black.
Factual error:
Actor Lee Van Cleef mispronounces Black Flight [the Special Forces
unit Snake Plissken [Kurt Russell] served in] to Black Lights
during his first meeting with Snake. Black Flight
is clearly in the script.
Continuity: Plissken's time limit was
stated as 22 hours, but his countdown timer started at 22:59:57, or 23 hours.
Factual error: Plissken carries an
Ingram Mac-10 machine pistol with a rifle-type scope fitted on it. This is
useless, since this weapon is very inaccurate. Also, the distance to the
eyepiece is too large to be useful in any way.
Factual error:
Gliders without engine tend to descend constantly most of the time. The
glider after being released flies all the way to one of the streets of Manhattan
and very close to the ground. Afterwards it starts ascending and there's no way
it could have reached the top of the World Trade Center without stalling from
there.
Factual Error: When Plissken lands on
top of the World Trade Center tower, his altimeter indicates less than 200. The
tower was over 1300 feet.
Continuity: Air Force One is shown
in flight as an aircraft with engines mounted at the back either side of the
tail. The wreckage on the ground and the computer image on the United States
Police Force computer as
it crashes are of a 737 type aircraft with the engines mounted on the wings.
Continuity: The interiors shots of
the plane before the crash are from a wide-body airliner. However, the wrecked
fuselage seen on the ground is not a wide-body.
Continuity: When Plissken first
receives a signal on the President's life signs transponder, he radios Hauk
then checks his countdown timer. The timer reads 18:50:18 [and counts down to :14
seconds]. As the scene is fading [at the :14 sec. mark], the timer changes to
17:50:14.
Revealing mistake: Walls in the
Chock full o' Nuts building are clearly made of Styrofoam.
Revealing mistake: During the
sequence where Plissken is being chased by the Crazies [and is about to shoot an
oval pattern in a wall so he can break through], his eye patch shifts enough to
reveal a perfectly good eye.
Continuity: When Cabbie [Ernest
Borgnine] takes Plissken to see Brain [Harry Dean Stanton], Maggie [Adrienne
Barbeau] answers the door. She goes inside first. Plissken
follows her and Cabbie goes in last, shutting the door behind him. But now in
the indoor shot, Cabbie and Plissken are in front and Maggie is way behind them.
Revealing mistake: When Plissken gets into the Ford LTD after knocking out the driver, you can see
the bars in the windows jiggle revealing them to be rubber. This is especially
noticeable in the shot from the front of the car.
Continuity: When Plissken get into a car
to steal it to take himself, Brain and Maggie to the Duke's place the headlights
are on. However when he starts to drive the car away the lights are off. The
next shot shows the car font the front with the lights on. After crashing the
car through the barrier after the run down Broadway the lights are off again but
when the car stops the lights are on again.
Continuity: When Plissken drives the
station wagon through the gauntlet of convicts on Broadway, they pelt the car
thoroughly with broken bricks. Immediately afterwards we see the vehicle from
several angles, filthy but not actually dented.
Error in geography: The scene at the
train station is clearly not in New York. The city's two rail stations,
Pennsylvania Station and Grand Central Terminal both have their tracks located
below ground level.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When
the Duke is shooting at the handcuffed President, we hear the sound of very
loud, echoing gunfire even though he is conspicuously using Plissken's submachine
gun equipped with a rather large silencer.
Crew or equipment visible: You can
see a crew member giving the Duke a "stand-up" cue quite visibly in the left
side of the screen when the Duke is quieting the Grand Central Station crowd.
Continuity:
After the baseball bat gets
imbedded into Slag's [Ox Baker] head, it disappears and reappears in subsequent shots.
Continuity: When Plissken
triggers the tracer after the fight in Grand Central Station, Hauk follows
the signal to the World Trade Center. But Snake did not take the tracer bracelet
with him, he left it on the man at Grand Central Station. It is not on his wrist
for the rest of the film.
Crew or equipment visible: Crew
fingers visible closing elevator door after failed escape run to glider.
Factual error: As the Duke drives
his car toward Maggie on the bridge, she fires her six shot revolver seven times
at the car.
Continuity: Immediately
before Plissken goes into the city, Hauk gives him the countdown timer that
gives Plissken just under 23 hours to get the President and get out. After Plissken is injected with the microcapsules, Hauk tells him them will be fully
dissolved in 22 hours. At the end, when the doctor neutralizes the
microcapsules, we watch the timer on Plissken's wrist countdown to zero. That
means he should have been dead less than one hour ago.
Continuity: When the bombs in
Plissken's arteries are deactivated, he raises his right hand to his left wrist to
display the time on his countdown timer. When we see a close-up of the timer as
time runs out, Plissken's right hand is not there. But when we switch back to the
previous view, his right hand is still pressed against the clock.
