I just saw Firefox tonight and noticed a few errors, even though I was not looking for them: 1) When Gant (Gantt?) was in the shower posing as Colonel whatever and was approached by the Russian soldier, he said, ``Was this your idea, Major, or is it by Colonel whoever's orders that you are bothering me.'' (or something like that) Now, how could Gant have known that the soldier was a major when they never even saw each other (Gant was hiding by the shower wall, remember?)?! 2) Prior to landing on the ice, Gant said that he had 90 miles to go and fuel for only a maximum of 60. He then said that he was going to climb and then try to glide in. That I guess I can believe, but when he was gliding in (obviously, he must have run out of fuel by the time he started to land), a shot at the rear of the plane showed that his engines were still on! 3) To the same effect, how could he have taxied back to the sub after landing if he was out of fuel? Those aside, I enjoyed the movie. I did think though that they made it a little comical the way he switched aliases: OK, you're now X; wait, they kill X so you're now Y; but Y kills a KGB guy, so you're now Z; hold on! Z was captured this morning, you're now AA; but you have to become a Russian captain; well and good, but you just punched a colonel, so you're now a colonel. AUGH!
