Directed by: Ken Russell
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Roger Daltrey, Tina Turner, Elton John
Factual error: In the air raid scene at the beginning of the film, the burning car is a 1950s Ford Popular.
Factual error: Captain Walker's plane goes down during the Blitz and Tommy is born on VE-Day, which means Mrs. Walker was pregnant for about four years.
Continuity mistake: During "Eyesight to the Blind," The Preacher's guitar changes from a red Les Paul to a black Stratocaster. It's not blatantly obvious, but easy enough to spot without slow-mo. (00:26:33 - 00:30:02)
Trivia: Ken Russell wanted Christopher Lee to play The Specialist. However, Lee was unavailable, filming The Man With the Golden Gun in Bangkok. Russell eventually cast Jack Nicholson.
