Other mistake: When Rosie plays her husband with ashes on her face she touches the tablecloth but it does not get dirty.
Other mistake: When Ryan arrives at the camp he observes a funeral taking place yet when he goes to meet the camp Commandant he asks what they are celebrating outside.
Suggested correction: I would agree that a funeral is not really an occasion for "celebration." The British regiment are holding a funeral for one of their dead officers: they are speaking English, and since Colonel Ryan is a US soldier, he can fully understand what they are saying, and he should know what is going on. He has worked out that a funeral service is in progress, but, having only just arrived at the POW camp, he will not know all the details of what is going on, and might be interested to know more. It might be insensitive to ask one of the British soldiers, so he decides to ask one of the Italian guards instead. Now, Colonel Ryan's history previous to the start of the film is not described, but he must have experienced some harrowing events in his military career, and this has probably left him feeling cynical and bitter, so he is probably using sarcasm. After all, Colonel Ryan is rather sarcastic throughout the rest of the film, too.
Other mistake: In the attack on the jacales outside the Alamo, a Mexican soldier is shot and crawling on the ground. Crockett asks him his name just as he dies. Later at the Battle of San Jacinto, the same soldier is shown sinking below the surface of Peggy's Lake as a Texican strangles another soldier with his musket.
Other mistake: In one of the air battles, the one where our heroes come to aid to a platoon of infantry harassed by German Fokker D.I's, the plane of Lowry is under fire after he downed an enemy airplane. In one shot, you can see he gets multiple hits just behind the pilot seat. Since these planes are barely armoured, say not at all, Lowry should have been punctured by the bullets at his back as well, instead of being completely fine. (01:16:00)
Other mistake: While driving in the car with the top down, there is no hair being blown from the wind coming around and over the windshield of the car. (00:26:30)
Other mistake: During the scene where the German Soldiers mow down an entire village, there are many shots of people crying and whimpering before the shooting begins. One little girl starts out with a sad face but then gives a big smile after looking to her left. (01:54:45)
Other mistake: The chandelier falls at the crystal ballroom and Wally drops. You can see he's nowhere near it but he still falls down.
Other mistake: When they pull the wooden stake out of the pilot's leg, there is no blood on it. (00:10:45)
Other mistake: When Papa Boule kicks Labiche off his train and tells him to throw the switch (turnout) Labiche actually operates one behind the train, not in front of it.
Other mistake: Sophie calls her Swedish colleague "Captain Perrson", however the rank on his shoulder say lieutenant colonel in the Swedish air force.
Other mistake: In opening scene in the China mission society building, there is a picture of Eric Liddel hanging on the wall. Eric hadn't been born yet.
Other mistake: About 1 1/2 hours into the movie, Ensign Bordelles, in the courtyard of the American facility in Changsha, prepares his shore party to march back to San Pablo with the Chinese military escort on either side. The Ensign lines up his men and orders, "Detail, forward March." The Chinese soldiers, unlikely to understand a word of English, also move off in lock step with the Americans.
Other mistake: Fahrenheit asserts that Saddam's Iraq was a nation that "had never attacked the United States. A nation that had never threatened to attack the United States. A nation that had never murdered a single American citizen." The government of Iraq under Saddam permitted a terrorist named Abu Nidal who is certainly responsible for killing an American named Leon Klinghoffer to have Iraq as a safe haven; if Saddam Hussein funded suicide bombers in Israel, including one who did kill 5 Americans in one attack in 2003; if the Iraqi police - now this is not a murder but it's a plan to murder - to assassinate President Bush Sr. which at the time merited airstrikes from President Clinton once that plot was discovered; doesn't that invalidate the claim that the Iraqi government of Saddam never murdered an American or never had a hand in murdering an American.
Other mistake: In the windmill scene, the windmill reverses directions twice to signal the airplane. However when Joel McRae enters the windmill and we see the machinery it is obvious that there is no mechanism to reverse the windmill against the wind.
Other mistake: After completing a CIA sponsored operation in Syria, a helicopter comes in to exfiltrate the team. It lands and also takes off with full navigation lights and red beacons on. This would never be done in a combat area. Those light should have been off the entire time. (00:06:55)
Other mistake: In the air combat part of the film, there are two close-up shots of an attacking plane which is a P-47 Thunderbolt. Also, in a couple of brief shots of a single aircraft attacking from the rear, it's definitely a Spitfire. The Spitfire at 01:44:53 and the P-47 at 01:47:07. (01:44:53 - 01:47:07)
Other mistake: In all of its appearances, the British flag (also known as the Union Flag and the flag of the United Kingdom) is wrong. The flag's X-shaped red Cross of Saint Patrick is shown as (a) wide, and (b) centered on its white background, whereas on the actual flag, it is (a) thin, and (b) not centered on its white background, but rather off-center in a counter-clockwise direction.
Other mistake: When Proximo says "Use this" to Maximus and throws him a piece of body armor, it is not the same armor he uses in the scenes that follow. (01:10:00 - 01:12:55)
Other mistake: While in the wooden structure in the trench, a close-up of Ciki's hands reveals that they are pristinely clean. Considering that he has been rummaging around in and out of the trench, and tending to his gunshot wound, his hands should appear at least dirty.
Other mistake: In various scenes during the movie, a stretcher with the dead body of Stevens is being carried around the prison. There is obviously nothing on the stretcher but a blanket. There is no body, whether actor, dummy or other, just a blanket over an empty stretcher.
