Breaking Away (1979)
1 factual error
Directed by: Peter Yates
Starring: Daniel Stern, Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Jackie Earle Haley
Factual error: When Dave is "true"ing his wheel, he adjusts one spoke with 3 full turns. That wheel would not be rideable after that much adjustment on one spoke.
Continuity mistake: There is an error in the scene where Dave is drafting behind the Cinzano truck. In the second close up shot of his legs (cranks) pedaling the bike he is in a lower (easier) gear than the previous shot even though he is supposed to be riding significantly faster.
Dad: Refund? Refund? Are you crazy! Refund? Refund? Refund?
