Corrected entry: When Lady is running out of the pet shop after being muzzled, there is a macaw flying out with her. However, when Lady is running towards the exit in the pet shop, there is no sign of the macaw. (00:35:56)
Corrected entry: Just after the Major draws the short match, and is protesting that he can't kill Mrs.W. the door to the bedroom, that Mr. Lawson broke down earlier, is seen restored. (01:04:00)
Correction: He didn't break it down completely, he just broke it open. It can still be opened and closed and many of the characters do it after he breaks it open. No mistake.
Corrected entry: At the end, right after the Sal Mineo character is shot by the police, the James Dean character holds up the clip to the pistol and screams "He didn't have any bullets." Wrong. The Mineo character had fired the weapon already, and had not cleared the chamber. So even though the Dean character had removed the clip, one live round was still in the chamber, ready to be fired.
Correction: This is a character mistake, not a movie mistake. Jim is not a weapons expert. He probably knew just enough that he needed to take the clip out, but not to clear the chamber.
Corrected entry: In the movie, the Castle that is set above the Eder-Dam is on the lake's southern side, but it is actually on the lake's northern side.
Correction: Copied off IMdB.
Corrected entry: When Cal and Joe are approaching the airfield early in the morning, you can see the wipers moving. But as the jeep pulls closer into view, you can make out through the fog that Cal is moving the wipers manually himself.
Correction: I don't see how this is a mistake. Cal and Joe are in an old military jeep that have hydraulically powered wipers. But if the hydraulics go out, they can be operated manually, which he does.
Corrected entry: There is a scene in the film where a young man is arguing with someone on the sidewalk. The young man is Dustin Hoffman.
Correction: Dustin Hoffman does NOT appear in any scene in this movie.
Corrected entry: The biblical reference that Sky 'corrects' when he visits Sarah in her mission is not a real reference. This mistake is also included in the stage show.
Correction: The reference is real. It's in Isaiah 57:21. My bible reads "'No peace,' says Yahweh, 'for the wicked.'"
Correction: The mistake is the book:verse designation in the reference. It is Isaiah 57:22 in the script, which does not exist in the Bible. It's actually Isaiah 57:21. Also, there are only 31 books in Proverbs, so Sarah would definitely noticed the 57 chapter mistake. Alas.
Corrected entry: In the scene near the end in which Ensign Pulver reads a letter from a friend reporting the death of Mister Roberts, the friend writes that Roberts and another officer died during a kamikaze attack on their destroyer while drinking coffee in the wardroom. In real life, wouldn't the two have been at General Quarters during such an attack, not drinking coffee below decks?
Correction: This comment supposes that the ship was AT General Quarters. It's entirely possible that the ship Mr. Roberts was killed on was simply sailing and the kamikaze plane came out of the sun such that no lookout would have spotted them in time to sound General Quarters. Not all kamikaze attacks happened during regular battles.
Correction: He could have turned and flown in another direction.
