The top mistakes in Men of Honour http://www.moviemistakes.com/film819 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:06 +0000 11611 In the scene where they are entering the base in Bayonne, NJ you see mountains in the background. There are no mountains in Bayonne, and across from Bayonne is Staten Island, NY where there definitely aren't mountains. 5063 In the bar scene, we see Rourke at the bar. He is wearing his medal of heroism, but when he goes over to speak to Gwen (Charlize Theron), the medal is gone. 26846 In the scene where Carl (Cuba Gooding) is diving to retrieve the lost nuclear bomb, the Soviet submarine crashes into his air hose assembly and it gets caught in the bow dive planes of the submarine, which is accurate, since all Soviet submarines, including those of the era in which the movie is set, are designed with bow planes. Once the cables work themselves free, we see the submarine sailing away, its dive planes are mounted on the conning tower, which is where U.S. submarines during the 60s-90s had their dive planes mounted. No submarine is equipped with both bow and conning tower dive planes, so the conclusion is that the movie-makers used a model of a Soviet sub for the "tangling" and "dragging" shots, and a model of a U.S. sub for the "sailing away" shot. 5062 There's a radio broadcast in 'Men of Honour,' which has Milwaukee playing Brooklyn before Braves actually moved to Wisconsin from Boston in 1953. 13063 As it says at the very end of the movie, the year is 1969. In the near ending when Carl is in his room getting ready to go to the court hearing, which re-inlists him into the navy, if you look out his bedroom window there's a flag with 48 stars. In 1969 the flag was already 50 stars.
