Visible crew/equipment: When Algren is dressed by Katsumoto's sister in her dead husband's armour, she backs away and kneels down. Next to her knee is a blue dot, which would be her "mark" for where she was supposed to kneel. (01:44:05)
The Last Samurai (2003)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Edward Zwick
Starring: Tom Cruise, Billy Connolly, Ken Watanabe, William Atherton, Chad Lindberg
Revealing mistake: The road leading out of the samurai village has distinct tire tracks from vehicles.
Algren: Your highness... if you believe me to be your enemy, command me, and I will gladly take my life.
Trivia: In scene 32, Katsumoto and Algren ride through the line of troops and as Algren dismounts, his horse kicks out at the soldier to the right of the camera and hits him in the groin. The soldier bends over with the impact, backs up, then bravely straightens up again as the scene continues. (01:53:55)
