• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Just before shooting Po-Han with a Springfield rifle to put him out of his misery, Holman makes a long-range adjustment to the rifle's rear sight. Such an adjustment would not have been necessary, since Po-Han was fairly close to Holman.
