Goofs:
Character Error
Hazar, an agent with combat training, doesn't know how to operate a machine gun.

Miscellaneous
There is no sign of Finnish search and rescue, police, or armed forces to search for the planes that came down in the north of Finland.

Factual Mistake
Air Force One does not have an escape pod.

Errors in Geography
Lapland does not have mountains. (Filming in the Alps was of course a deliberate artistic decision by the Finnish film maker.)

Continuity
The small number of arrows in Oskari's quiver changes constantly.

Errors in Geography
When above Lapland, the pilot announces that they're going to prepare for landing, but the capital of Finland, Helsinki, where they are traveling at is actually 1000 kilometers away from Lapland.
Trivia:
Ray Stevenson and Samuel L. Jackson both appear in the Marvel cinematic universe. Ray Stevenson also played The Punisher on one occasion.

Jalmari Helander initially wanted Mel Gibson to play the President.

With EUR8 500 000 budget it's the most expensive Finnish film ever.

The film's teaser trailer debuted in Finland before the film Kummeli V (2014).

The adventures in the wilderness take place in Finnish Lapland, but the outdoor footage in the film are actually from the Alps since in director Jalmari Helander's opinion the real Lapland locations did not suit his image of what the scenery should look like

Big Game marks the first international project to have received backing from FFF Bayern’s special program for international co-productions.
