Continuity mistake: In the end of the movie, Hilts (Steve McQueen) is returned to the camp - he is dirty and his shirt is torn. When he enters the cooler, after being tossed his baseball glove, he is clean and his shirt is no longer torn. (02:49:50)
Other mistake: After there has been the vote for chief, behind one boy you can see a piece of wood reading "Anthony M," a marker for showing where the actor (Anthony McCall-Judson) should sit. (00:13:25)
