Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone, Bobby Moore, Pele
Factual error: In the final football game scenes ( from about three-quarters of the way through the film or so) all the spectators are wearing 1970's clothes and have 1970's hairstyles.
Factual error: German SS officers ceased wearing black uniforms after 1942.
Continuity mistake: Before the start of the match, the teams line up and acknowledges the spectators. In the number 7 shirt for the Allies is John Wark, yet at the start of the second half, the same player is wearing a red track suit and sitting on the reserves bench. At no point was he injured or replaced.
Hatch: This frigging game is ruining my life.
Trivia: Sylvester Stallone broke one of his fingers in an attempt to save a penalty from Pele.
