Other mistake: During the press conference, Dr Roney (James Donald) says they have only found parts of skulls and fragments of bone. However a nearly intact skeleton was uncovered by a workman in an earlier scene.

1 other mistake
Directed by: Roy Ward Baker
Starring: Andrew Keir, James Donald, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover
Visible crew/equipment: As Quatermass drives back to the spaceship in a cab, just before it is to be drilled, the film crew can be easily seen in the cab's windows. A woman with a white cap can be seen holding a script. Later when the police use a megaphone on their car to announce the spaceship is a hoax, you can again see the same woman with a white cap in one of the windows of the police car.

Suggested correction: How could you tell if the reflection showed the actual film crew and not just a TV and newsreel crew assembled for the scene? They were also using mounted cameras and carrying papers.
Barbara Judd: We are the Martians now.
Trivia: This movie was also called "Five Million Years To Earth."
