Big Red One (1980) - 3 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

During the scene where the squad has to eliminate the sp gun in the Italian village, if you look closely at the sp gun when it rolls its barrel out the window and fires, the smoke from the gun discharging comes from the window, not from the barrel of the gun. [It wasn't smoke coming from the window, It was dust and debris raised by the concussion from the sp gun, a very good effect.]

The German, Schroeder, appears to wear no rank insignia. Yet he is seen giving orders to other German soldiers, including those who are NCOs. [This could be a military tactic by the Germans. Given the close fighting situation, perhaps the Germans had a plan to have their highest ranking officer with no visible rank or insignia. This would protect the high officer from the enemy. This is also along the lines of why you're never supposed to salute a superior officer in close combat.]

Lee Marvin rescues a young boy at a Concentration Camp, brings him to a bunk room and gives him a drink. During this scene his helmet had netting on the outside. He leaves the room with the boy and the netting is no longer on the helmet. [When he's at the river with the boy, he has the netting in his hands so he took it off himself, it didn't dissappear.]
