What is referred to in the film as a Mi-24 Hind helicopter is in reality a visually modified Sikorsky S-62. The Sikorsky has the faux Hind weapons platforms added on its sides with the Hind-style rocket pods and missiles. The same modified helicopter was used to represent the Hind in several other films from the period, including ''[[Braddock: Missing in Action III]]'' from the same year and (with slightly more convincing modifications) 1989's ''[[Red Scorpion]]''.

McBain also uses a stainless M1911A1 throughout the film. Captain Devon Shepard (Darlanne Fluegel) tries to draw one during the ambush, but is dissuaded by CSM O'Rourke.

M16A1s with A2-handguards are seen in the hands of the rebels and US troops.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.Error creating thumbnail: File missing
In a continuity error, the High Standard Model 10B morphs into a half assembled AR-15 with A1 handguards. This might be because the scene involved McBain beating up two guards with the weapon and they did not want to risk damage to the Model 10B.

America's newest tank, with armor "thick enough to survive anything from a Stinger to a ten-foot SAM" (which doesn't really say much; anti-aircraft missiles generally have almost no armor-piercing capabilities and would be no match for even modest tank armor). As the production rented vehicles from the same one from Red Dawn, this is likely the same modified tank chassis used for the Abrams in that film.
