In the Name of the Father (1993)
2 continuity mistakes - chronological order
Directed by: Jim Sheridan
Starring: Emma Thompson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite, Alison Crosbie, Philip King
Factual error: The film is supposed to be set in 1972/73 yet when you see street scenes some of the vehicles are cars from the mid to late 1970's.
Gerry Conlon: That was a good day's work, McAndrew. A good day's work.
Joe McAndrew: Get away from me.
Gerry Conlon: You're not looking me in the eye when you're speaking to me. You see, I know how to look at people without blinking as well. In all my god-forsaken life I have never known what it was like to want to kill somebody until now. You're a brave man, Joe. A brave man.
Trivia: Although Pete Postlethwaite plays Daniel Day-Lewis' father in this film, he was only 11 years older than Day-Lewis.
