Visible crew/equipment: When Shaw gets shot, he falls down. When he falls, you can see the squib wire out of his boot.
Glory (1989)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Edward Zwick
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes
Continuity mistake: During the first battle in the woods, the Union Regiment levels their un-bayonetted weapons and fires a volley at the Confederates. About 3 seconds later, without the order having been given, they are in hand to hand combat with bayonets fixed.
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: There's more to fighting than rest, sir. There, there's strength of heart. You should have seen us in action two days ago. We were a sight to see! We'll be ready, sir. When do you want us?
Trivia: Matthew Broderick is believed to be related to Robert Shaw, the character he played in the film.
Question: Is there a website, books or vhs/dvd that tells the entire documentary of Robert Shaw and the 54th Mass that the movie is based on?
