  • The origin and full form of Dutch’s name were unclear.
  • Sunny Landham’s character could simply have been named Sunny rather than Billy.
  • The film could have used a pre-mission team dinner to deepen the ensemble.
  • MythBusters reportedly found that mud would not conceal body heat.
  • The lack of extraction effort for an elite team was questioned.
  • Mac’s destroyed head later appears restored.
  • The same weapon that removes Dillon’s arm barely harms Dutch.
  • A galaxy-traveling alien failing to understand mud camouflage seemed implausible.
  • Old Painless seems poorly suited to stealth extraction.
