Other mistake: When Schmidt sets the self-destruct timer at the Hydra base, the clocks count down at twice the speed of real-time.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Dominic Cooper
Factual error: When the action moves to England after the failed award ceremony, the British Union Flag hanging from the wall is upside down. The broad white band should be at the top left (nearest the top of the flag pole).
US Army soldier: Wait! You know what you're doing?
Steve Rogers: Yeah, I've knocked out Adolf Hitler over 200 times.
Trivia: Before Steve Rogers exits the chamber that changes him into Captain America, the sound effect for the machine winding down is the same one as for the rocket pack shutting down in The Rocketeer, another Joe Johnston movie.
Question: When Captain America is rescuing the POWs, he's asked if he can get them out and he replies, "No problem. I've knocked out Adolf Hitler 200 times". I found it odd that he gave such a specific number. Is it maybe a reference to something from the comics (not just the number of War Bond sales pitches he has given)?

Answer: No, it was just the number of performances he's done. The number was specific simply because the line was funnier that way.
