Goofs

Continuity: During the rescue of Lee from his parents' restaurant after he is shot, a police car can be seen parked in the street outside with its red and blue lights flashing. Seeing as this takes place days after the invasion, the car's battery would have died mere hours into the war with the lights left on, and as such they would not work. See more »
