JFK mistakes

Mistake Factual error: In the scene where there is a train passing, the cars are marked "Burlington Northern." There was NO Burlington Northern until 1970, 7 years AFTER the shooting.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: During one of the railroad men's eyewitness accounts of what he heard at the time of the assassination, for only a second on the extreme far right of the screen during the obviously re-enacted footage of the fateful motorcade, you can see just ahead and on the driver's side of the Lincoln limosuine the white sedan lead car; however, you can see it is mounted with what appears to be a boom microphone and other equipment and crew members in the car - one has a headset on.

Mistake Other: In the ending credits, Gary Carter is listed twice.

JFK trivia

Mistake When Joe Pesci is ranting and raving in the hotel room about the assassination, he says that no one will ever solve the JFK murder. He utters the famous line, "It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma...." This was actually first said by Winston Churchill long before JFK was president.

Mistake In JFK Wayne Knight plays Numa Bertel. In Seinfeld Wayne Knight plays Newman. In JFK he was used in Jim Garrison's demonstration of the single bullet theory. In Seinfeld he and Kramer told Jerry a story exactly the same as the single bullet theory only that it was spit that hit them not a bullet. Jerry then does the same demonstration that Jim Garrison did in JFK to explain the story. The layout is also the same in both the film and Seinfeld.

Mistake The real Jim Garrison plays Earl Warren, head of the Warren Commission.
