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 - chronological order
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Robert Prosky, Thomas Gibson
Continuity mistake: When Mr. McGuire is shot, he falls down, and Shannon's spoons spill out all over the ground. In an overhead shot, all the spoons are snatched up by bystanders, but then it cuts to a ground-level shot, and they're back on the ground, getting snatched up again.
Shannon Christie: May I ask, what are you doing, sitting at my table?
Joseph Donnelly: I'm eating your chocolate cake.
Trivia: Director Ron Howard wasn't happy with Nicole Kidman's facial reaction during the shooting of the scene where her character lifts the bowl covering Joseph's (her husband Tom Cruise's) crotch. Without telling Kidman, he asked Cruise to remove his underwear. Howard got the reaction he wanted, and it appears in the film.
