Directed by: John Lee Hancock
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, Patrick Wilson, Jason Patric
Audio problem: When the Mexicans begin their final attack, we see Travis call to Joe to wake him up, but if you watch closely, you don't see his lips move, you just hear "Joe."
Audio problem: The messenger at the beginning leaps off his horse and says, "They're all dead. Alamo." Watch closely and you'll see his lips don't match "Alamo" and he keeps speaking without making a sound. (00:02:25)
Factual error: The song that Davy Crockett plays on the violin is 'The Mockingbird Quick-Step,' written in 1855, several decades after the events of this movie (and later used by the 'Three Stooges' as a theme song.).
William Travis: One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
Trivia: The film cost $107m to make and earned only $26m worldwide. It is considered one of the all time movie flops.
Answer: The siege of the Alamo lasted thirteen days, so events would happen both day and night. The actual final assault began at around 5am, and took no more than ninety minutes - it was over by sunrise.
