Corrected entry: As the family drives away at the beginning in the "foreign car," you can see the crew reflected in the name plate and various other parts of the vehicle as it drives away from the camera.

Correction: The only thing reflected in the "name plate" [the chrome bar across the back of the vehicle] is a distorted reflection of the street behind the vehicle - houses, trees, cars. There are no camera equipment or crew members; if you try really hard, you can see Clint's profile, as he bends over the engine of the vehicle he's working on.

Corrected entry: On Walt's medical records it states that he was born in February. However, in the movie it is obvious that his birthday is celebrated in the summer months not in the winter.

Correction: Not necessarily; I live in Oregon, and I frequently see beautiful, summer-like days, and even weeks in the middle of Winter.

Mistakes

Other mistake: When Walt and Thao go into the barbershop, the barber gets up and puts on his barber jacket and zips it up. As the camera returns to the barber each time, the jacket zipper is at a different location.

Questions

Question: Would a Korean war veteran be allowed to keep his Garand rifle? I assume that the film wants to depict the rifle and the Colt pistol as being the very ones he had in Korea. Wouldn't that be like a lot of guys stowing M16s in their old footlockers?

Answer: Well, a lot of veterans actually buy their weapons once they have retired, since they have the constitutional right to keep and bear those weapons. However, I don't think it is said in the movie that those arms were exactly the ones Kowalsky used during the war.

Actually, yes he did say that it was the one he carried. When Tao asked what it was like to kill a man, Walt says I shot the kid in the face with that rifle you were holding earlier.
