The top mistakes in Heartbreak Ridge http://www.moviemistakes.com/film596 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:55:28 +0000 14400 At the very beginning of the film, Gunny Highway learns that he's being reassigned to the 2nd Marine Division. The 2nd Division, located at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, is situated on the NC coast; there are <b>no mountains</b> in the immediate vicinity. However, when the Gunny trains his platoon, he does so in the <b>hills</b> of another Marine training camp located in California. There is a big difference between California and North Carolina. 17033 Towards the end of the movie Lieutenant Ring is ordered to escort the rescued students to Cherry Point. When they arrive they are actually at MCAS El Toro, not MCAS Cherry Point. Any Marine who has been at both air stations can immediately tell the difference. 130760 At the end of the movie when Gunny Highway and his men land at what is supposed to be Cherry Point, the band playing the music should be the 2nd Marine Division band, but is in fact the 1st Marine Division band as can be seen by the 1st Marine Division insignia on the drummer's drum. 31109 Halfway through the film when Gunny Highway takes the troops on a run, one of his Marines suggests he's lost. Stitch Jones says "C'mon, let's smoke this sucka." All the troops run past Highway, with Jones leading the way. When the shot turns to a rear view, Jones is the last one to pass Highway. 163444 Highway and Choozoo are in the bar when Little Mary Jackson tells them that their battalion has gone on full alert. They both leave the bar and it is night time (also a cut away clip of Aggie being driven past in a convertible car shows darkness). The scene then cuts to the barracks and throughout the scene, you can see through the thin curtains that it is daylight outside. The scene then cuts back to the parade ground and it is night time again.
