Other mistake: They are supposed to be in Oklahoma for the land run, but the terrain is nothing like that portion of Oklahoma! You can see the mountains in the distance.
Far and Away (1992)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Robert Prosky, Thomas Gibson
Factual error: When Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise arrive in America, the year is 1892, but the flags being passed out at the pier have 50 stars on them. In 1892, there were 44 states.
Shannon Christie: May I ask, what are you doing, sitting at my table?
Joseph Donnelly: I'm eating your chocolate cake.
Trivia: The purple dress that Shannon admires as she leaves the factory is the same one worn by Clara Clayton at the very end of Back to the Future Part III.
