Factual error: Col. Yin tells Braddock that if he signs the contract, he will be freed and then transported across the border into Thailand. Vietnam does not border Thailand. It's next to Laos, then Thailand.

Continuity: Throughout the movie, Ho is referred to as "Captain Ho", however in the closing credits, his name is "Colonel Ho".

Continuity: When Colonel Yin lays the almost-dead Franklin in front of Braddock's cell outside to pour gasoline on him and set him on fire, Yin lights the fire and you can hear Franklin scream However, you can see that the flames are coming from a few feet in front of Franklin's body.

Continuity: At the onset of the movie, the chopper Braddock and his team are in is shot down over a lake and they have to bail. Each of the five men on board jumps and then their name is listed followed by a "Missing In Action" stamp on the screen. However, if you look closely in the chopper before they all get ready to bail, you will see another guy in the back with a hat on (and it is not Opelka, Franklin, or Nester) who wasn't supposed to be there. It looks a lot like one of the other Americans who was presumably killed in the firefight prior to the chopper arriving to pick up the remaining survivors, taking off and then being shot down.

Visible crew/equipment: When Braddock jumps from the helicopter, the pilot is seen in the doorway.

Revealing: At the beginning of the film when Nester and Opelka and at least two other Americans are attempting to run towards the chopper, you hear a series of Vietnamese mortars which hit two of the Americans, followed by screams. If you look real closely at the last mortar to hit the second American, it is a scare-crow type figure dressed in military fatigues that takes the mortar hit.
