Deathwatch (2002) - 8 mistakes

Factual error: The rifles the British soldiers carried in the film were Lee Enfield rifle No.4's, these did not go into production until WW2. They should have been using an earlier version of the Lee Enfield rifle.

Continuity: The soldiers' breath is seen in some scenes, but not others.

Factual error: There is, and never has been, for that matter, a Private First Class rank in the British army.

Factual error: The rifles the soldiers carry towards the end of the film are not really the Lee Enfield rifles that the British army carried. The rifles they carry have long muzzles, instead of the stubby one on the Enfield.

Continuity: The officer is driven quite mad by the psychic attack of the demon and shoots one of his own men in the head. We see the soldier fall to the ground clean, yet in the next shot a lot of brains (poked by Andy Serkis's character, with his pistol) and blood suddenly appear.

Continuity: When Quinn has just killed Sgt. Tate there are several close-up shots of Friedrich tied to a pole. He appears to have his head up and watching what's going on. When we see Quinn and Shakespeare arguing, he's in the background with his head to one side and looks completely lifeless.

Deliberate "mistake": The entire time they spend in the trench, before they attack, Quinn has a white sheepskin jacket. It rains throughout the film yet with all the mud about you would think in about a day that this jacket would turn dark brown. It is still fairly white even when Quinn dies.

Plot hole: Towards the end of the film when Private Shakespeare is talking to the wounded soldier, his coat and hair are suddenly dry, strange when the majority of the film is set outdoors in the rain.
