“Black Hawk Down” Goofs List

  • Continuity: Spoiler: After Gordon is killed in the 2nd crash, Shughart takes over. We see a shot of a Somali shooting Shughart. In the next shot Shughart is dead. After that we see him dropping the g3sas the second time and he is still sitting up.
  • Factual errors: Spoiler: When Durant’s crash site is overrun, Randy Shugart is shot 11 times with a Tokarev pistol which only holds eight rounds.
  • Continuity: Spoiler: In the scenes where Sfc. Norm ‘Hoot’ Hooten takes a couple of men out of the convoy to continue on foot to the second crash site because the convoy can’t get there due to barricades, the number and type (Delta Operator or Ranger) of men with him changes variously between cuts. (Delta Operators and Rangers can be told apart by their helmets)
  • Continuity: Spoiler: Before Sfc. Randy Shughart gives CWO Michael Durant his fallen comrade, MSgt. Gary Gordon’s rifle, CWO Michael Durant is already seen with the rifle in his lap for one small scene (the last scene of him before Sfc. Randy Shughart gives him the rifle).
  • Revealing mistakes: Spoiler: When Eversmann goes to see Jamie Smith’s body at the end of the movie, he says to Smith that he will go and talk to his ‘mom and pop’ when he gets home. He then pats Smith’s chest and Smith’s eyes twitch showing that he isn’t really dead.
  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Mr. Atto leaves Mogadishu in the Land Rover convoy, the last Rover clearly squeals its tires on a dusty dirt road.
  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: Numerous times in the film when any helicopter lands, we hear the familiar chirp-chirp-chirp sound. This is characteristic only of the famous Bell H-13G (the MASH chopper), and then only of the rubber drive belt disengaging from the rotor column.
  • Continuity: After Sgt. Busch crawls out of the first Black Hawk wreck, the goggles on his helmet disappear and reappear several times.
  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: While evacuating prisoners, McKnight’s voice is very obviously overdubbed, as Sizemore’s mouth appears to be saying something completely different from what is heard.
  • Continuity: When Sgt. Sanderson was lying prone and ordering one of his Delta soldiers to draw fire from some Somalis on a vehicle, he was waving his left arm. But when the camera switches to behind him, he is waving his right arm.
  • Crew or equipment visible: Dolly tracks are visible in opening shot.
  • Continuity: When Hoot takes over the 0.50 caliber machine gun, his gloves disappear and reappear between cuts.
  • Crew or equipment visible: A white-shirted cameraman is visible, crouching over a camera in the back of a Humvee when it stops to let the old man past.
  • Anachronisms: While flying into Mogadishu one soldier holds a paperback edition of John Grisham’s novel ‘The Client.’ In October 1993, this book was only available in hardcover; the paperback was not published until March 1994.
  • Factual errors: The call to prayer in the beginning was called after the sun had risen. In Islam, there are no calls to prayer after sunrise until after noon.
  • Crew or equipment visible: When the city forces take over the second black hawk helicopter, a shot from the point of view of the wounded soldier reveals a camera and crane on the right-hand side of the screen.
  • Continuity: When Blackburn is lying on the stretcher they put his legs straight. Next time we see his legs, up close they are clearly bent.
  • Continuity: The rifle disappears and reappears in Durant’s lap between cuts.
  • Crew or equipment visible: After the first black hawk has crashed, a lone soldier guarding the wreckage comes under fire by Somalis with RPGs. In a side-shot of one of the missiles flying past, you can see a wire in the air along its trajectory.
  • Continuity: The mini-guns and rocket launchers mounted on Little Bird disappear and reappear between shots (being replaced by flat benches) after it breaks formation when it is sent to Walcot’s crash site.
  • Continuity: As Durant’s chopper is crashing, the gunners disappear and reappear between shots.
  • Continuity: The position of Durant’s Blackhawk in the satellite images after it crashes. This is presumably because one is the real satellite image. (several were used in making the movie)
  • Crew or equipment visible: During the Mogadishu Mile, Rangers and Delta are being left behind by the UN. In the high shot where the vehicles go downhill then the soldiers appear, there are two crewmembers wearing blue shirts on the roof of the top right building.
  • Continuity: The appearance of Hoot’s rifle changes throughout the movie, often between shots (this is especially noticeable when he is firing out of the window of the Humvee).
  • Crew or equipment visible: When Eversmann and his men are running back to the their base, he dodges some gun fire and squats behind an old car for cover. As he does so, his ‘mark’ is visible on the road at the spot where he stops running and dodges behind the car.
  • Continuity: In one shot, a Black Hawk helicopter is flying over the ocean; soldiers can been in its cabin with their legs hanging out over the sides. In the next the shot(s), the same helicopter cabin is empty.
  • Anachronisms: While 2Lt. John Beales is having an epileptic seizure, Days of the New’s ‘Die Born’ is being played by the soldiers in the background. The movie takes place in 1993, but the album from which this song originates was not released until 2001.
  • Factual errors: The Little Bird helicopter does not have a high tech sighting system as shown locking onto the strobe light. The pilot uses a grease pencil cross or dot on the windshield to aim his guns and rockets.
  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: While running the ‘Mogadishu Mile’ at the very end, there is a close-up shot where a Delta unit lifts his rifle, it recoils against his shoulder, and we hear several shots, but he doesn’t pull the trigger – his finger lies flat against the trigger guard
  • Revealing mistakes: The .50 caliber machine guns on some of the Humvees are dummy guns whose barrels flop about as the vehicles drive over rough terrain, such as when Blackburn goes to the shooting range to meet Eversmann.
  • Continuity: The position of Grimes and Blackburn at the shooting range.
  • Errors in geography: When the soldiers are waiting for the mission to get underway they are discussing the details while shooting baskets, in the background there is a group of farm houses set in a green field.
  • Continuity: When Sgt. Struecker enters the lead Humvee in the three-vehicle column to return to base, he closes the door which is missing the glass in the window. In the next shot where Struecker is driving the Humvee, the glass has re-appeared.
  • Revealing mistakes: When Nelson, Twombly and Yurek are running down the street towards Eversmann’s position, there are cars and buses driving past in the background in the high shot.
  • Continuity: When Sgt. Eversmann is talking to Captain Steele about a medevac for Cpl. Smith, the soldier behind Steele appears to be dead with blood all over his face. Although, when Steele radios to the chopper circling overhead, the same man is alive and holding up two IV bags, with no trace of blood on his mouth.
  • Factual errors: When the muezzin (who recites Azan (Moslem call for prayer)) calls for the morning prayer on the minaret, we can see that the sun had already risen. Which means the time for morning prayer is already over. The muezzin should have recited the call for prayer at least an hour earlier (which is done all over in the Moslem countries).
  • Continuity: Cliff Wolcott’s helmet model changes right after his helo is hit by an RPG. He wouldn’t have switched helmets during a flight.
  • Revealing mistakes: In at least one scene depicting the US Base, and shows a C-130 Hercules transport in the background, you can see the country symbol on it (round and red) that shows it to be a Moroccan Air Force Hercules, which is where the movie was filmed.
  • Continuity: After Blackburn falls, Eversmann ropes out of the helicopter. When he begins down the rope, another Ranger grabs the rope to descend after him. However, the long shot of the rope and the scene after Eversmann reaches the ground indicate no one was following him.
  • Crew or equipment visible: When Garrison says,’ Good luck boys, and be careful. No one gets left behind,’ briefly in the hangar you see two white shirted crew members and the camera.
  • Continuity: When Chalk 4 are pinned down by a .50 caliber machine gun, a Little Bird is wait
