Mistakes
At the start of the movie on Omaha Beach, just before Tom Hanks and the others clear the fence with the big bombs, a man is shot and it ricochets off of his metal hat, but in the previous scene he can be see looking at Tom Hanks, in the following shot he is looking away towards the bunkers.

Trivia
The movie was shot in chronological order, which is unusual for a film. Spielberg chose to shoot it that way so that the actors would feel like they were going through the experience in the same order as the characters they play, and they lose friends on the way. This helped create the resentment towards Ryan, who doesn't share the journey with them. See more...
