Other mistake: In the attack on the jacales outside the Alamo, a Mexican soldier is shot and crawling on the ground. Crockett asks him his name just as he dies. Later at the Battle of San Jacinto, the same soldier is shown sinking below the surface of Peggy's Lake as a Texican strangles another soldier with his musket.

1 other mistake
Directed by: John Lee Hancock
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, Patrick Wilson, Jason Patric
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Travis hands Seguin the third message to Houston the off-center seal is closer to Travis. As Seguin takes it the seal is closer to him. (00:56:15)
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.
