Goofs
Michelle Monaghan's character is repeatedly referred to as Lieutenant Colonel Violet van Patten. When she is shown in uniform, she is wearing a Navy uniform. The Navy's uniform is white shirt with black skirt. The Air Force uniform is blue shirt with blue skirt. While an O-5 in the Army, Air Force, and Marines is a Lieutenant Colonel, in the Navy O-5 is Commander. A Navy Captain is a Colonel in the other branches.
Crazy Credits
The opening titles look like they show a triple reflection off a monitor screen and protective glass, typical on an arcade game.
