Captain America: The First Avenger picture

Revealing mistake: When we see the new recruits at boot camp, they are wearing M1 Helmets. But if you look closely, they have rivets through the sides of each helmet where the chinstrap bales would be. In reality, the M1 helmet chinstrap bales were and continued to be welded onto the shell of the helmet. This indicates the helmets in the film are probably plastic replicas with the bales being riveted in place.

Suggested correction: This bridge is a route with plenty of cars on it. Any tire marks seen could very well have been made from the many cars that have driven on the bridge over the years.

Skid marks visible in the exact location the car swerves? Possible, but highly unlikely.

Donovan's Echo picture
