Correction: The character's name is Bronson Peary, not Perry. Eddie doesn't say, "Hugh" he says, "Peary, it's gonna be all right." There are other instances we hear Eddie say the name "Peary" such as when Bronson is about to leave Eddie's hospital room, earlier in the film.

Super Grover

Corrected entry: Before Eddie walks out for his 90m jump, Bronson hands him his helmet on which he has just finished inscribing "eagle" in gold permanent marker. When they walk out out of the tunnel to the competition area, Eddie is holding his helmet, and "eagle" has disappeared. (01:22:00 - 01:24:00)

Correction: Look again, it's there. When they walk out of the tunnel Eddie's goggles are around the helmet, and we do indeed see the word "eagle" through the tinted lenses of the goggles.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: During several of Eddie's jumps and most notably his final 90m attempt, the advertisement on the underside of Eddie's skis changes during the jump as the camera shot cuts back twice in a slow motion shot. The advertisement changes from "Fischer" to "fleuge.de", both of which are commonly seen on modern day jumping skis, not on skis of the time.
