Continuity: During the first scenes of the film the Greek flag used is the current one, and not the one used at that time. The flag that should have been used is a white cross on blue.

Continuity: When Cage is talking to Cruz for the second time, Cruz's hair changes shape. There's also dirt on her shoulder which disappears in the next shot.

Factual error: The "tank" seen throughout the film is actually a specialist "tank hunter" and would only have operated as part of a specific unit, it would never have been assigned on its own to a Greek island where there were no tanks to hunt.

Revealing: When Mandras is being treated, following his long trek back to the village (he has apparently walked barefoot), the tops of his feet are covered with blood and dirt. When he is laid on the table by the doctor, the soles of his feet are facing camera, and they are clean and white.

Factual error: The movie is set in 1943, yet the characters in one scene are talking about Rome having fallen to the Allied Forces. That didn't occur until April of 1944.

Continuity: In the scene where the German planes are bombing the town and harbour, it is very apparent that the planes are computer generated. The detail of the planes is excellent but the movement through the air is not consistent with a real plane.

Factual error: The earthquake that virtually leveled the Greek island of Cephallonia occurred in 1953, not in 1947 as depicted here.
