Factual error: When Steel (the bearded soldier) is cornered by the zombies, he realizes he's doomed and shoots himself in the head. The problem is he is using a Colt M1911 series handgun and the hammer was up when he shot himself. The gun has to be cocked before it can be fired. (01:30:00)
Day of the Dead (1985)
1 factual error
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: Jarlath Conroy, Joseph Pilato, Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Captain Rhodes is first introduced. Initially, his captain insignia is horizontal (correctly). After a few shots in the same scene, his rank is now vertical.
John: I got an alternative, yeah, yeah, I got an alternative. Let's get in that old whirly-bird, find us an island some place, get juiced up and spend what time we got left soakin' up some sunshine! How's that?
Sarah: You could do that, couldn't you? With all that's going on, you could just do that without a second thought?
John: Right, I could do that even if all this wasn't going on.
Trivia: Joe Pilato who plays Captain Rhodes in this film had a small role in the Director's Cut of its predecessor, Dawn of the Dead: he's the police captain at the dock scene.
