Goofs

Close to the end of the movie when Charlie Sheen wants to transmit the video from the control room, the power fails. He looks outside and sees an electricity cable has been cut. He then decides to go to the dish itself. Later on, the electricity in the control room works just fine.

Towards the end when Charlie and the girl run into a building, Charlie has a key to the deadbolt on the building door. But the deadbolt is installed wrong. It is a 'Kwikset' double cylinder deadbolt and the screws that hold it on the door are on the outside of the door, not the inside. Anyone with a screwdriver could simply remove the lock and open the door.
