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 the edit icon under an entry, then choose "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.

Entry Towards the end of the movie in the riot scene, canons were fired into the middle of the 5 points and exploded in fireballs in the street. Canon balls were made of steel or lead and were used to penetrate the hulls of ships or knock down walls. They were not flying explosive bombs. [Almost 50% of projectiles fired from cannons during the Civil War peroid were explosive in nature. These included cannon balls with burning fuses as well as cannisters that detonated on impact via a plunger device.]
Time
Entry What's going on with Daniel Day-Lewis' character? A man with one eye manages to throw knives with pinpoint accuracy? With one eye he'd have no sense of distance, so in reality he'd be an awful shot. [It can be done, it just takes practice, and if the eye has been missing from a young age it's not as much of a liability. I only have one eye but I can throw knives, darts, etc. just fine.]
Time
Entry Towards the end of the film when Amsterdam and Jenny are standing in the graveyard observing both Bill the butchers grave and Amsterdam's father's grave. On Priest Valon's tombstone it says that he is from Dublin. Earlier in the film Amsterdam says that he is from county Kerry. County Kerry is in the western region of Ireland, while County Dublin is on the eastern region. [Amsterdam is trying to conceal his identity from Bill. He is probably not being entirely honest.]
Time
Entry At the beginning, when Liam Neison is shaving, we see him cut his right cheek with the straight edged blade, but in the next scene, when they're fighting, the cut is on his left cheek. [In the beginning we see Liam Neeson's shaving in the mirror, so we see him cut his right cheek when he cut his left cheek.]
