Corrected entry: The film takes place in 1940. In at least two scenes on an airfield, a Land Rover (possibly a made-for-defence purposes Defender model) can clearly be seen. The Land Rover was not developed until after WW2 & not actually put into production until 1947, as the British "answer" to the US Jeep.
Corrected entry: In the stock car scene when Irma Bunt (Blofeld's henchwoman) is chasing Bond and Tracy their car flips over. It the explodes. As it explodes, look at Irma Bunt. She gets engulfed by the flames. However, when Tracy gets killed it is Bunt that shoots her. She might have just survived but she doesn't even have burns.
Correction: While she does seem to get engulfed in flames, she never caught fire. She can be seen exiting to the right of the screen in that same shot, completely untouched. Evidently a combination of fire retardant clothing, and not being in the fire long enough. Also, we have no idea how long it's been since the car exploded. It could be months, even years (though that is unlikely).
Corrected entry: At one point in the movie John Wayne and Glen Campbell ride across the ferry and Kim Darby rides her horse across the river. Upon reaching the other side, Kim approaches the men and has a conversation with them. However, instead of being wet from riding her horse across the river, she is completely dry.
Correction: As Kim Darby walks up to John Wayne and Glen Campbell, her skirt is OBVIOUSLY wet and dripping as is Little Blackie (the horse).
Corrected entry: When Peter Fonda takes off his watch, the band is shown to have a clasp on it, but when he places it on the ground it has turned into a twist-a-flex band.
Correction: I have slow played the watch scene a dozen times and there is no clasp on it. He stretches the watch band off his arm, and a close up before he throws it shows no clasp, not on my DVD.
Corrected entry: How did those people in the England bus get out of the traffic so quickly? The ones in the minis had to go through various places - places the police cars had trouble going - to escape quickly, so how did they escape at the same speed in a bus?
Correction: They exit the same way that the armored car carrying Michael Caine's character got in, through side streets, back alleys and backyards. They follow that route in reverse and you even see them travel through some of the same spots, the road construction, the farmer's market, etc.
Corrected entry: A German pilot drops a roll of film to the RAF commanders to let them know that POWs are being housed in the chateau. When viewed the film shows the POWs arriving in three US-made GMC trucks escorted by a US-made half-track - all vehicles just have German insignia slapped on the sides to make them look authentic.
Correction: It wouldn't be the first time that an armed force was re-using captured and then re-flagged vehicles. In historical documents there are many cases of re-flagged vehicles, notably in the european campaign.
Corrected entry: One of the bounty hunters was carrying a 1903-A3 Springfield rifle. This was a cheaper version of the 1903 rifle made in WW-II.
Correction: The entry that the 1903-A3 was a cheaper version of the 1903 is incorrect: The 03-A3 came AFTER the 03. The 03 had a weak action and the subsequent upgrade was called 03-A3.
Corrected entry: At one point, Butch Cassidy loads two six shooters, and fires more than twelve shots.
Correction: Butch Cassidy only fires repeatedly in one scene, the first time he kills anyone, and in that scene he does not fire more than 12 shots.
Corrected entry: When Hartman's men raid the farm, they are fired at by one (and I mean, one) Panzerfaust gunner. The shots come in a much too rapid succession for just one single gunner using a one-shot anti-tank weapon, even with a quick assistant.
Correction: Actually the Panzerfaust is a one-shot only weapon meaning that once it has been fired it can't be reloaded, unlike the Panzerschrek. This means that the gunner could, theoretically, fire more shots in a minute than a well-trained Panzerschrek team as he would merely pick another one up.
Corrected entry: In the scene near the end of the film, when the hippy group are setting up in the farmers field next to the campsite, we are lead to believe that Sid & Bernie are waiting in their tent for their 10pm illicit meeting with Fanny & Babs. However, when all the campers are rushing to the gate to see what the commotion is, look carefully to the left of the group and you see Sid break away from the other campers and run into his tent, appearing at the front of the tent as if he's just heard all the noise.
Correction: This man is not Sid - he's just wearing similar clothes. When you see the group arriving at the gate into the farmer's field, this man is one of the first to get there.
Corrected entry: The premise of the plot is that J.J. Hubbard needs to illegally crash the sapphire asteroid on the Moon to make mining the 6,000 tons of gemstone easy & profitable. Eventually it's revealed that the reason the large amount of the stone is so valuable is that it'll make powerful interplanetary rockets practical, and therefore Hubbard's ownership of the sapphire will give him a monopoly on harvesting the vast riches of the solar system. If it'll be so incredibly lucrative, then why does he need to crash the asteroid and risk being caught? It should be worth the cost of just mining it in space.
Correction: Probably because it is not large enough to have an effective gravitational field to land mining equiment on. Plus, once you start mining, you are decreasing its size\volume making it unstable to mine from. It would be like a dragline digging away at its own base. Crashing it on the moon means they mine 100% of it.
Corrected entry: The technicians at Houston's Mission Control center are discussing the physical condition of the stranded astronauts, and one of them makes the statement that astronaut 'Stoney' has "lost 16 pounds". It would be impossible to make that determination considering that they are in a zero-G environment and there would be no way to 'weigh' anything.
Correction: NASA uses an inertial balance to measure astronaut's weight in zero-G.
Corrected entry: When the government men were going to purchase the wild horses for the army, they offered to buy them at twenty five each. The Mexican men offered fifty five each, but John Wayne said he was selling them for thirty five each. So which is it? (00:30:15)
Corrected entry: When the Sheriff and Deputy are on their gold hunt, the sheriff "redistributes" the pack on Jake's (Jack Elam's) back. As Garner begins walking away he says "come on Jack" referring to actor Jack Elam instead of the character Jake.
Correction: Moments before the sheriff says "come on Jack", Jake had stated, with regard to carrying the heavy pack "I fell like a jackass". The sheriff's comment was a subtle way of inadvertently agreeing with him. Jake immediately follows the "come on Jack" with "Jake!" It was all scripted, not a mistake, and certainly had nothing to do with Jack Elam's name.
Corrected entry: In the morning scene where the shadow moves to point the way to the opening of the canyon; it is moving away from the rock that makes the shadow. It should be getting shorter not longer.
Correction: Actually, the morning sun reflected off of the quartz deposit would cause the shadow to get longer as time progresses. I tried it. The writers are correct.
Correction: This is utter nonsense. The vehicle was a period Bedford MW 15cwt truck. There is no Land Rover anywhere in this film.
And even if it was a Landover it wouldn't have been a Defender seeing as the film was made in 1969. The coil sprung Landrover didn't come out til 83.
