When Walter shows Cheryl's son skateboard tricks in the park, Walter's briefcase moves from the right side of the park bench, where he puts it down initially, to the left side when he and Rich are in the background and Cheryl is on the phone.
Immediately after arriving in Afghanistan, Walter walks in front of mountains, then a waterfall. Both shots are from Iceland. The mountain is Hvannadalshnúkur. The waterfall, Skogafoss, is at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull mountain, where Walter had already been.

Q
Is it true that there are only eight people in Nuuk?
A
No. As the capital city of Greenland, Nuuk has a population of over 17,000 people. This is just a stereotypical joke made by the producers of the movie. And the city that they filmed the greenland scenes in were not in Greenland. They were possibly in Faroe island.
