Deliberate mistake: The tanks used in the film are German "Leopards", never used by the US army.
Buffalo Soldiers (2001)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Gregor Jordan
Starring: Ed Harris, Joaquin Phoenix, Anna Paquin, Scott Glenn
Continuity mistake: Why do Elwood and Garcia drive one truck into the nuke base with the weapons, if there were 3 vehicles and 3 people to drive them? That would mean either the Hummer that Stoney drove or either of the trucks was abandoned in the forest. It was most likely that both trucks had similar cargo, even then, why were the not escorted due to the nature of the cargo?
Colonel Berman: What is this? What have we here?
Ray Elwood: Just some requisitions, sir.
Colonel Berman: One thousand gallons of Mop and Glow... my God, do we really need that much?
Ray Elwood: Well, cleanliness is next to godliness.
Trivia: The hand that lights the lighter in the cooking scene is the director, Gregor Jordans' hand. It says this in the DVD's audio commentary.
Question: How is it, Colonel Berman never suspects Elwood is having an affair with his wife?
