Continuity mistake: Early in the film, Michael talks to Harry Boland on a boat. During this scene, a cigarette appears in Boland's mouth that was not in the previous shot. (00:40:40)
Michael Collins (1996)
1 picture
Directed by: Neil Jordan
Starring: Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, Alan Rickman, Brendan Gleeson, Aidan Quinn, Ian Hart, Richard Ingram
Factual error: The Lee Enfield rifle is chambered by singular repetitions with a bolt action. When Collins' wayward friend is shot in the water, the rifle shots are rapid semi-automatic fire.
Michael Collins: I hate them for making hate necessary, and I'll do what I can to end it.
Trivia: Brendan Gleeson, who plays Collins' aide Liam Tobin, played Collins in the 1991 TV movie The Treaty.
