Continuity mistake: While showing the other tank commanders the unit's objectives on the map with his finger, Lieutenant Parker removes it, but the next shot of him and the tankers shows him still pointing on the map. (00:18:20)
Continuity mistake: As "Fury" and her crew roll towards the house/aid station, they pass by a gate. The next shot shows the tank still some distance from the gate. (01:23:10)
Other mistake: The Tiger tank wouldn't have burst from cover after picking off one Sherman. Why would it when it could stay put and pick them off as they approach? Even in 1945 when recruits weren't always well trained, the German Wehrmacht didn't give Tigers to newbies. (01:17:10)
Factual error: In the final battle at the crossroads, Fury uses white phosphorus to burn the house. Phosphorus rounds were only supplied for the short barrel 75mm, not the high velocity 76mm, because they held too little phosphorus to be effective.
Continuity mistake: Wardaddy gives Norman the ultimatum of "him or you." When he does, he's pointing his revolver at Norman. Camera changes and he's no longer pointing at Norm. (00:38:30)
Continuity mistake: Wardaddy gives the order to run over the enemy with the tank. We see one German with his right up raised in the rear view of him in the foxhole. In the front shot of him however his arm is lowered. (00:33:10)
Continuity mistake: Just as the tank column breaks through the hedgerow to rescue the troops, Wardaddy either has his goggles over his eyes or on his helmet depending on the shot. (00:29:10)
Continuity mistake: During the Jesus loves Hitler scene, Wardaddy's goggles keep shifting position on his helmet from crooked to level and vice versa. (00:21:50)
Continuity mistake: We see Sgt Davis standing next to Wardaddy getting the brief on the new mission. In one shot he has his arm raised with a mug in his hand. When the shot changes, his arm is now lowered. (00:18:30)
Continuity mistake: When Wardaddy shouts at Norman about "that is a German, that's who we kill", his arm is either bent or straight depending on the shot. (00:17:50)
Audio problem: When Norm tells the crew about the SS Battalion, Coon throws his wrench into the mud. However, a metallic sound like a wrench hitting concrete is heard. (01:29:10)
Continuity mistake: When the SS officer is killed for hanging children, his papers land by his head. When the shot changes, his papers are now by his feet. (00:48:30)
Continuity mistake: Just after Norman has been made to shoot the German, he lies on the floor with his face buried in his arms. Camera cuts and his position has changed and you can now see his face. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: When Norm takes the picture off the post in the tank near the start, the way he holds it changes between shots from the extreme corner to further down. (00:15:40)
Other mistake: It's established that Emma doesn't understand English as shown by Norman having to mime when talking in the bedroom. However just before this, Wardaddy calls her a nice clean girl and Norm should take her in the bedroom, or he would. Emma then walks towards the bedroom and pulls Norman after her. Wardaddy doesn't point to the door or motion in anyway to give away what he said. So how did Emma know to go to the bedroom? (00:57:45)
Answer: Although he starts out afraid, awkward and hesitant, Norman gradually becomes battle-hardened throughout the film. But there is one event that probably changes Norman more than anything: When his one-night love interest, Emma, is killed during a German attack. After that, the tank crew realises that Norman has changed, become harder and more focused, and they finally accept him as a team member with the nickname "Machine."
