Crew or equipment visible: During the ending gun battle scene when the camera switches to view the right side of En-joo (Tim Kang) you see a shot of the camera equipment behind him. (This is when he climbs up the steps to the upper tower for cover and better shooting position).
Factual errors: When the sniper shots two guards, they get thrown backwards three or four meters. This is against physics and not possible with any kind of light weapons such as pistols, rifles and even 12,7 mm anti aircraft.
Factual errors: The "Tallboy" bomb was never used in the pacific theatre of operations. It was designed to smash German concrete structures and could only be dropped by a British Lancaster bomber, which didn't operate in Burma.
Factual errors: When John Rambo is passing by the empty boat that had previously attacked his party, the motor is clearly not running in one shot since the front pulley is not turning (23:54).
Continuity: In the final gun battle sequence, Rambo uses the jeep mounted gun to fire on the driver, and splatters blood all over the bullet shield. When he gets off of the machine gun, the bullet shield is mysteriously clean.
Revealing mistakes: In the final gun battle sequence when Rambo goes to reload ammo for the jeep mounted .50 cal machine gun, he grabs the full ammo box and it clearly says 840 Crtg 5.56 ball M855 10 rounds Clips. This is not the correct ammo type, style or ammo box for the weapon he is using. Though the Burma regulars may be using surplus ammo boxes it would make a logistic problem trying to keep track of what ammo you have if everything is mismatched.
Continuity: During the scene when Rambo is going to lead the tracking dogs away from the girl and Schoolboy, Schoolboy’s hat brim keeps changing how its bent in between shots. It changes from peaked to flat to a round shape.
Revealing mistakes: Rambo's boat has a hidden inboard motor at the stern, you can see the water churning from under the boat in views of the rear of the boat. Revealing mistakes: You cannot fully silence the BMG 50 sniper rifle, yet Schoolboy's midnight shots can't be heard.
