“Commando” Goofs List
- Crew or equipment visible: Cable holding up Sully by his shoe as Matrix holds him over a cliff.
- Continuity: The same guy with the long beard dies at least twice during the final shootout.
- Continuity: When Matrix enters the shopping mall, it’s daylight. When he leaves only a few minutes later, it’s dark outside.
- Continuity: When Matrix jumps off the plane, the landing gear is almost completely retracted. When Matrix looks back at the plane after landing in the ocean, the landing gear is extended again.
- Revealing mistakes: In the fight scene in the motel room, Matrix grabs Cook’s arm and forces it through the glass tiling in the bathroom. The tiles wobble and fall away without resistance and in a closer shot you can see that there is no cement or other bonding material holding the individual tiles together.
- Miscellaneous: When Henriques is being stretchered off the plane, covered in a sheet, the other people on the plane in front of him do not notice at all. Why aren’t they looking back in shock?
- Continuity: When Matrix jumps from the landing gear of the plane, he lands in water and gets his trousers and some of his jacket wet. Although he takes his jacket off, in the next scenes, his trousers are completely dry again, only a minute or so after getting out of the swamp.
- Continuity: Before the final shootout, Matrix plants explosives on the edge and around the different buildings, yet when he detonates them, the explosions clearly come from the insides of the building (and the top of one of the watchtowers).
- Revealing mistakes: When killing people using the M16, during one of the overhead shots, a man is “shot” even though Matrix is not aiming in his direction.
- Continuity: When Matrix gets to the house where Arius is he fires over thirty rounds from an M16A1 rifle that has a twenty-round magazine inserted in the magazine well.
- Continuity: The amount of blood on Bennett’s face in various shots in the fight with Matrix at the end.
- Continuity: When Matrix tells Bennett “I’ll be back!”, the car window is almost completely closed. Matrix shuts the car door and in the very next shot, the window is open.
- Continuity: When Bennett says, “Your training, Matrix!” he is clearly excited, but in the next shot he is all serious again.
- Continuity: When Matrix is raiding the surplus store, and enters the hidden room full of guns, he grabs the rocket launcher off the wall and hands it to Cindy. After he says “Go!” and she leaves the room with the rocket launcher, the next shot of Matrix shows it hanging on the wall again.
- Continuity: When Matrix and his daughter walk into the water, their trousers are already wet.
- Crew or equipment visible: In the final battle scene, several times when someone is blown into the air by a grenade you can see the ram that throws them into the air.
- Continuity: In the fight between Matrix and Arius, Matrix rolls out and fires his shotgun repeatedly at Arius leaving blood stained bullet-holes scattered randomly all over Arius’ chest. As Arius falls towards the window, the bullet holes can be seen all lined up in little sets of six.
- Continuity: When Cindy walks out of the airport after Sully hits on her, she’s wearing high heels. Then when she walks into the airport parking lot, she’s wearing low heels.
- Crew or equipment visible: After Matrix holds up Cindy for the first time, Cindy drives off and the crew is reflected in Matrix’s side of the car.
- Crew or equipment visible: After Bennet’s reply to Matrix’s vow that “he’ll be back,” he drives away, and the boom operator (and his microphone) are reflected in the rear passenger-side window of the car. (Best noticed in slow-motion).

- Revealing mistakes: When the red car slams into the lamppost after the chase with Sully, the head of the “Cindy dummy” flies off.
- Revealing mistakes: Obvious dummy bad guys propped up on sticks after Matrix detonates the explosives at the mansion.
- Continuity: When Matrix is following the guys who abducted his daughter with his sabotaged truck he goes down the forest in a straight line. The guys he’s chasing use the road, which has several turns. He would actually overtake them after the second turn. Yet every time we seem him he is about the same distance away from the cars he’s chasing.
- Continuity: Matrix rips out the seat in the red car, and sits real low, but when they go down the highway, he’s just as tall as the woman.
- Continuity: During the big shoot-out near the end of the film, Matrix is using an M-60 machine gun which repeatedly acquires more ammo (the ammo belt is replenished) even though Matrix has no spare ammo with him, nor any time to reload.
- Continuity: When Matrix and Cindy enter the amphibian plane to take off the guards shoot and hit the plane near the door. After landing when Matrix enters the inflatable boat, the bullet holes have disappeared.
- Revealing mistakes: Towards the end, Bennett pulls off the furnace door but his hands don’t get burned.
- Revealing mistakes: When Matrix blows up the building at the end, the soldiers chasing him can be seen wobbling. They are all clearly cutouts.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Matirx throws the circular saw at the first person, wires on the blade can be seen.
- Continuity: When Matrix is “shopping” he puts many guns in the cart but he grabs the pistol and the shotgun shells after he tells Cindy to leave with the cart. Then he is arrested and the weapons that he grabbed after Cindy left are obviously confiscated, yet when he suits up on the beach for battle the pistol is one of the weapons he has and during the shootout the shotgun is fully loaded.
- Continuity: During the final battle on the island, gunfire can be clearly heard in the background, yet Matrix is the only person attacking the base and nobody is shooting at him, who are they shooting at?
- Revealing mistakes: When Cindy has fired at the police van and it rolls over, you can see the piston used to flip the van rolling down the road.
- Continuity: At the end of the film, we see Cindy beach the plane with the nose of the aircraft facing the camera. After the dialogue between General Kirby and Matrix, Matrix and Jenny go to board the plane which is now facing in the opposite direction.
- Continuity: In the fight scene when Matrix is firing the M60, the ammo feeds from the left side, then in the next shot it feeds from the right side. In the shot after that, it feeds from the left side again.
- Continuity: When Matrix is hit by the Porsche, he knocks off the wing mirror. During the ensuing chase, the wing mirror reappears once the chase moves onto the country roads.
- Revealing mistakes: When Matrix swings across the mall, his face is obscured by his arms. However you briefly see the stuntman’s face as he lands, before the camera cuts to show Matrix preparing to jump from the top of the elevator.
- Revealing mistakes: When Matrix is swinging across the mall you can clearly see the stunt man’s wig fly up when he lands on the elevator.
- Continuity: Shortly before Matrix enters the mall, we can see a white pick-up truck and a grey Renault LeCar stuck in the traffic. At this time, the right headlight and the front bumper on the LeCar were broken. During the chase scene, shortly after leaving the mall, we can see both cars again. Except that the car has been fixed.
- Revealing mistakes: When Matrix and Cindy approach the island with the airplane, Cindy moves the throttle forwards, the next shot viewed from outside the plane inside the cockpit Cindy moves the throttle backwards.
- Factual errors: When Matrix aims the M202 Flash rocket launcher, which fires four rockets, the background can be seen through all of the tubes. The tubes are obviously empty.

- Revealing mistakes: When Matrix drives the bulldozer into the surplus store, you can see the stunt driver twice.
