The top mistakes in Jarhead http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5357 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:57:55 +0000 100447 When Cortez gets out a photo of his wife pregnant, the photo changes between shots. She is facing a different direction in the next shot. His USMC tattoo, however, stays the same direction throughout the scene. 153910 When the platoon crested the dune in Kuwait and came upon the Highway of Death, all the vehicles were going in the wrong direction. They were traveling south, not north to Iraq. Saudi is located west southwest of Kuwait and the only way the Marines could have approached the convoy in that scene would have been if they crossed over it once before or went completely around, through Kuwait City and then headed northwest. 166824 The uniforms worn by the troops ("chocolate chip" DCU)are incorrect. The uniforms they are wearing were in design during this time, and weren't sent to the desert for them to wear until AFTER the conflict was over. They were actually on a plane on their way there when everything started and ended so quickly. 121939 In the scene where the guys held down Troy to burn him with the USMC symbol, and he's crying on the floor, you see Jake Gyllenhaal's character move in and you can hear him whisper, "You earned it, man," but if you read his lips, he is actually mouthing "Asshole!" 103511 After the Christmas party and the fireworks blowing up, Swofford is seen sitting at a table drinking Crystal Geyser spring water and talking to Jamie Foxx. Between shots the front of the bottle keeps moving to continually show the Crystal Geyser logo facing the camera for perfect product placement.
