| Plot: | Gabe hasn't recovered from a terrible climbing accident, so when he's asked to search for a group, missing in the Rockies, he is initially reluctant. Adding to this the fact he has to work with an old friend, who now hates him; Gabe is not a happy man. Unknown to Gabe and his 'friend', the group they are out to rescue are armed and dangerous. The group need a local expert to locate and recover millions of $s of stolen money. |

Continuity: The cable with the suitcases disappears when the plane explodes. Continuity: The plane crashes in the mountains, and appears to have stopped half way off a cliff. When people leave the plane, the plane is fully on the ground. Revealing mistakes: Visible cables holding the crashed helicopter to the cliff. Revealing mistakes: As the jet approaches low over the mountains, with its shadow just beneath it, the shadow moves across the ground, and onto the plane itself. Fact errors: Gabe jumps a lot more than 10 meters with full climbing gear. Superhuman. Revealing mistakes: Gabe is fighting another guy as they are sliding down the mountain and the bad guy falls off the cliff. As he falls, you can see him hit the stunt airbag as he lands. Continuity: Shortly after Gabe returns from Denver, Jessie enters the rescue station while it is raining outside. Once she enters, it appears to be snowing through the back window of the station. Revealing mistakes: In the cave of bats, when Jesse stands up, you can see a glass reflection on the lower left part of the screen in widescreen mode. Revealing mistakes: When Gabe opens the first suitcase and looks in it, wind blows the top bills away, revealing that the rest of the money is just blank sheets of paper. Continuity: When Tucker helps Walker out of the water, Walker is soaking wet. We cut briefly to Qualen in the chopper, then when we cut back to Tucker and Walker, Walker is completely dry (even his hair). Continuity: When the villain with night-vision first opens fire on Gabe and Jessie, he is standing still. The next point-of-view shot through the night-vision goggles shows him to be moving toward his targets. A third shot shows him again standing still, in his original position. Fact errors: When Gabe lights the flare, the night-vision point-of-view shot momentarily breaks up into static, like a faulty video display. This is not how night-vision works. Fact errors: In several scenes where Qualen is flying the helicopter, he is either pointing a pistol or handing keys to Jesse. Helicopters are an intense two hand operation, especially in the hover, as the aircraft is shown doing several times. There are two controls, the cyclic and the stick, and he is shown taking his hand off the cyclic, which you could not do, particularly in a hover. Fact errors: When Gabe falls into the water he performs a variety of moves including removing his shirts and taunting Travers. After he emerges with help from Hal, Gabe is fine and the movie goes on. This could not happen. The temperature of the water should have put him into shock and stiffened all his limbs shortly after he fell in. Not to mention, even if Hal were to take him out, Gabe's core body temperature would have dropped to the point of a hypothermia scare. Crew: There is a camera shadow on Frank as he approaches Crystal lying in the snow. Revealing mistakes: When the person falls out of the airplane you can see his parachute tucked under his coat. Continuity: As the plane is crash-landing a rock clearly takes of the starboard wing and the rear third of the fuselage along with both engines which are behind as the forward section slides away. Seconds later as the fuselage is sliding to a stop we can hear the engines loudly "winding down" as if they were still attached. Continuity: Just after he rappels into the cave for his showdown with Gabe, Kynette's machine pistol is minus its magazine, which reappears when the gun is knocked from his hand. Fact errors: SPOILER: When Gabe and Jessie sleep outdoors, they would have frozen to death, given their thin clothing in relation to the apparent cold temperature. The heat from the fire made from the money would have made little, if any, difference; and would in any case have gone out long before the night was over. CHAR: Travers is the one who insists they search for the money, because he claims they'll need as much as they can get to buy they're way out of the country. But later in the film, when the latest case is atop one of the peaks, he changes his mind, contradicting himself. Continuity: At the end of the film, just before the fight on the helicopter, the chopper looks as if it hits the ground, but then a couple of shots later, its dangling from the metal ladder several feet above the ground. Fact errors: The temperature in the night vision goggles shows as -11C (12F). They're not dressed to deal with that weather, especially as it colder at night, with an added wind chill, and no windbreak. They'd be dead from exposure very quickly. Continuity: When the stalactite is shown before Gabe shoves Kynette onto it, it is already dripping blood. Continuity: In preparation for the Jetstar emergency landing, Kristel tells the copilot to "lower the flaps 25 degrees." The copilot repeats "flaps 25 degrees, check," yet each shot of the place after this still shows the flaps fully retracted. GEOG: Tropical fruit bats do not hibernate in the Rocky Mountains. SYNC: Gabe talks to Qualen on the radio while waving to him with the arm holding the radio. GEOG: The money was made in the Denver Mint, but the Denver Mint only makes coins. Banknotes are printed by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, located either in Washington, DC or Fort Worth, Texas. CHAR: As the jets are flying in close formation, the DC-9 pilot is told to "slow to 150 knots" and to "descend to flight level 140". Both of these phrases are incorrect. In the United States airspace system, the term Flight Level is only used at 18,000 feet and above - flight level is a measure of hundreds of feet (Flight Level 310 = 31,000 feet above sea level). There is no Flight Level 140; it would be expressed as 14,000 feet. CHAR: Stallone's character is seen wearing a wedding band in earlier scenes yet in the film he is not married. This is confirmed when he states that he's came back for Jessie, clearly his love interest but not his wife. |

[Gabe suddenly grabs Kynette by the crotch and chest and impales him on a large stalactite] [During the theft of the money, Travers zip lines from one plane to another] Eric Qualen: Why didn't you send the money first?
