Trivia

The movie is supposed to be in Washington D.C. Washington doesn't have a football stadium. The Washington Redskins play in Landover, MD. So the movie was filmed in Baltimore, MD. They used Camden Yards, Orioles stadium, and the stadium where the Ravens play. See more...

The Replacements (2000) - 27 mistakes

Directed by Howard Deutch, starring Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves (add more)

Please note: The movie is notset in 1987. It is not based on the 1987 players strike, other than the fact that in 1987 there was a players strike and they used replacements. At no point does the movie say "Based on a True Story", nor do they EVER reveal the year to be 1987. Similarly, this movie is not set in the NFL, but rather an unnamed fictional league (much like in "Any Given Sunday"). They never mention the NFL, you never see the NFL logo. Therefore, any "mistake" which references a NFL rule or team is not a mistake at all, since the rules and teams in this fictional league may be different from the NFL.

Mistake Continuity: Near the beginning of the film, number 56 (The player who tackled everybody) cut the top of his nose in a game. A closeup of his face shows this. The camera cuts away and shows a few other things. Then it shows him talking to the coach and you see blood running down the side of his nose, but the gash has mysteriously disappeared. During the bar fight, the cut has completely healed, then when they're in the locker room getting the "pep-talk," his nose is again cut and taped up.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Orlando Jones used the stickup for his hands, the next play his hands were very clean and if you have ever used it.. you know what I am saying.

Mistake Continuity: Watch the Chinese spare rib in Jamal Jackson's hand while he, his brother Andre, Jumbo, and Nigel are eating after the first practice. He throws it down, then in his next shot, he is eating it again, then it switches to an overhead, where he's not eating, then you see him again with it back in his hand.

Mistake Continuity: When the placekicker sets up for the long field goal, they show him flick his cigarette away and blow smoke twice. Once after he has initially set up, then again after they cut to the guys he owes money watching him on TV.

Mistake Factual error: Orlando Jones is supposed to be lightning fast with no hands. He would have been made a cornerback if he couldn't catch the ball.

Mistake Factual error: After the onside kick, they did NOT return for a big gain. Bateman tried to keep running with the ball, but Falco (who as quarterback shouldn't even be on the field during this play) tackled him. While Bateman was running with the ball, he just kept going back and forth near the line of scrimmage and didn't advance.

Mistake Continuity: In the final game, the running back hurts his knee. Two plays after that, Reeves is running with the ball. Throughout the run, the ball switches back and forth from being carried in his left arm to his right arm.
