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) - 28 mistakes

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

Genres: Comedy, Sport

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.

Continuity: When the players are in the locker room when the coach talks about FEAR if you look at the play with the letter C by it under the play, it says Z but when he talks about FEAR it's gone.

Continuity: During the first game, one of the coaches says "They are running us up the middle too much". Yet they have not run a play yet. And the next play is a run, straight up the middle.

Continuity: In the scene after the first game where a fan is complaining on radio about the team and the camera is panning Washington the cars in the scene are going backwards on the freeway and streets.

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.

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.

Continuity: When Nigel, the Welsh place kicker for the Sentinels, sets up to make his field goal for 65 yards he is seen flicking his cigarette off to his right. The scene changes to the bar (where you see him flick it again on the T.V.) then back to the field and you can see the cigarette back in his right hand.

Continuity: In the first game that they play, the Sentinels receive the kickoff, the shot of the guy catching the ball was from a far away view, then on the next kick off its an up close view of the player catching the ball but if you notice, the player does the exact same thing in both catches. Which means that they put the same catch in there, just different views of it.

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.
