The top mistakes in The War http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3407 en Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:56:50 +0000 30095 Stephen dies after he was "taken off machines", at least so his wife tells the kids. But when he was shown in the hospital he was attached to no life-supporting machines except an oxygen tube in his nose. 30094 The kids dare each other in a decrepit water tower which is mysterious in a number of ways: 1) Draining the water causes a powerful vortex, but the water level is not going down. 2) No one seems to work the bottom valve, but the vortex comes and goes. 3) It is absolutely impossible that anyone could swim through such a vortex, but Stu does. 4) The rotten roof breaks under the weight of little Billy (the ice-cream excess?) but carries his brother who weighs about 4 times as much. 30089 In one of the war flashbacks Stephen carries the wounded Dodge through a trench. They pass by a screaming pig, but in slow motion you can see that it's just a motionless carcass. 30092 Billy buys about 20 bars of ice-cream, carries them home, and is shown lying in the yard, nibbling slowly on almost the last of them which is still cold and solid. 59221 When Billy falls through the top of the water tower, there's a large hole in it. It disappears later.
