Corrected entry: As Lt. Handcock is being placed in his coffin, the wind blows his shirt up and very briefly you can see the residue from the explosives packs that were placed on his chest to make it look like he'd been shot.
'Breaker' Morant (1980)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Bruce Beresford
Starring: Bryan Brown, John Waters, Jack Thompson, Edward Woodward
Factual error: In the ambush-on-the-prison scene, one of the Boers is equipped with a Lee-Enfield CLLE Charger-Loading Rifle. Although the Boers used many captured Lee-Enfield and Lee-Metford rifles, the CLLE's weren't even developed until the Boer War had ended.
George Wittow: Did you write that, Harry?
Harry Morant: No, no. It was a minor poet, called Byron.
Peter Handcock: Never heard of him.
Harry Morant: I did say he was a minor poet.
Correction: Do you really believe an actor would wear an explosive squib against his skin? A moulded fibreglass and foam shield is used, and there is no chance, none at all, that 'explosive residue' would end up on his skin. The marks you see are part of the make up job applied to the actor's chest to imply bullet wounds.
