Goofs
Both aircraft flown in the movie, JA-3 and JA-4, are supposed to be jet aircraft (hence the JA identifier). However, neither aircraft has air intakes that are necessary for jet engines to operate.
Share this
During the first bombing run at the beginning of the film, damage is seen on the cockpit canopy, which disappears, then reappears again between shots.
Share this
When Troxell first taxis the JA-4 it can be seen that the 4 on the side of the plane was just a decal placed over the 3 on fuselage used for all the ground scenes.
