Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: James Earl Jones, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott
Revealing mistake: In the sequences where Mandrake and Ripper are under attack by the US Army, we see exterior battle sequences in front of the base. However, no matter how many bullets are fired at the building, all the windows remain intact.
Revealing mistake: Matte lines are visible on Major Kong as he falls through the bomb doors.
Revealing mistake: A string is visible on the left wing of the bomber in one of the shots right before it drops the bomb.
Factual error: When the B-52 is flying low over Russia, the shadow on the ground is a Boeing B-17G, a World War II propeller driven bomber.
President Merkin Muffley: Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
Trivia: "Dr. Strangelove's" release in the United States was delayed due to the assassination of President Kennedy. The movie reflects this in an unusual and nearly undetectable dub job. After going over the contents of the survival kits on board the B-52, Major Kong is heard to say "A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff." "Vegas" was dubbed in for "Dallas", which Major Kong actually says, after the assassination.
Question: Was there any significance besides comedy to the very last scene of the movie where Dr. Strangelove stands and proclaims "Mein Fuhrer. I Can Walk." It was pretty funny as is, but I wondered if there was some sort of allusion or other intention to that line.
Answer: Peter Sellers improvised it. During that scene if you watch the actor playing the Russian character you can see him trying not to laugh at Seller's performance.
