Corrected entry: In the scene where Christopher Walken is trying to determine who stole money from a soldier's footlocker, he threatens to discipline the platoon if no one confesses by the time he counts 'down from thirty.' However, he begins counting at 'one,' thereby counting up to thirty.
Biloxi Blues (1988)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Christopher Walken, Matthew Broderick, Penelope Ann Miller, Corey Parker, Matt Mulhern
Factual error: During the scene where the platoon is stopped by the large lake on their 15 mile hike Sgt. Toomey says, "You must have been in the first World War." WWI and WWII were not referred to that way until years later.
Arnold Epstein: Once you start compromising your thoughts, you're a candidate for mediocrity.
Trivia: The main character, Eugene Morris Jerome, is also the same character name in Brighton Beach Memoirs. Both characters also keep journals of their everyday life. Both characters also want to be writers as well.
