D.A.R.Y.L.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie during the helicopter chase scene, there are two different makes of car used - a four door Nova and a two door Buick.

Continuity mistake: The film starts with a helicopter chasing a car being driven flat out around a winding mountain road. At one stage you see that the nearside rear wheel has lost its hubcap. A few seconds later the hubcap's back.

Continuity mistake: During the car chase on the freeway, when Daryl drives the car with the doctor off a ramp, the camera shows the car head-on as it lands, again as it drives past the camera, and from the rear as it drives away. In both shots of the same ramp scene, a tall adult is in the driver's seat, and the passenger seat is empty. Less than a second later, the rear silhouettes of a tall person driving and a short person in the passenger seat are visible, and three seconds later Daryl is driving with the Doctor.

Continuity mistake: When the SR-71 is taxiing from the hanger its tail number is 17964, but just before the plane explodes the tail number is 17974. (01:25:15 - 01:31:30)

Factual error: DARYL steals an SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane toward the end of the film. Conceding the absurd notion that a kid could fly it (computer brain or not), the problem is that SR-71 required in-air refueling shortly after attaining low cruising altitude. It always took off with low fuel, because it was safer, and extended the lifespan of the tyres and brakes. (Not because it leaked fuel, although that's also the case, but the amount actually lost on the ground was relatively negligible). Without refuelling DARYL would have run out of fuel long before his flight ended.
