Other: In the scene where Mel Gibson is playing AFL with his fellow soldiers during training in Cairo, we see him wearing a digital wrist watch when he whistles and raises his arm.
Other: During the scene of the ill-fated charge by the Australians, some of the bayonets on Turkish soldiers' rifles wobble. Apparently, the fake bayonets were made of rubber.
Factual error: Before the heros are about to go over the top of the trenches to certain death, the Captain plays a recording on his gramaphone of Pachabel's canon, a now famous piece of music, full of pathos and very suitable to the scene. However, although written in 17th century Venice, the music lay forgotten in a dusty library until the 1960s.
Factual error: Mel Gibson and Mark Lee leave their jobs working on the Pichi Richi Railway (north of Adelaide) to join the Australian Light Horse Brigade (about to sail to Turkey from Perth in 1914). To do this, we see them travel over 1000 miles across the Nullarbor Plain by train. But the tracks were not laid until 1927.
Factual error: The two heroes are seen arriving at Adelaide Station (name changed to Perth) behind a South Australian RX Class steam locomotive running on 5 feet 3 inch gauge rails. The Western Australian Railway system serving Perth Station at the time used 3 feet 6 inch gauge rails and more recently standard gauge, but never the Irish gauge. The locomotive is much too big for authenticity.
