Revealing mistake: When Damian knocks Lee Remick over the balcony with his tricycle, five big goldfish in a bowl get knocked over, too. But the fish don't move; they don't flap around like fish do out of water. They are obviously fake fish.

1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Gregory Peck, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephens
Factual error: In the cemetery, the skeleton of Gregory Peck's son is far too big to be that of a newborn, which it is supposed to be.
Father Brennan: When the Jews return to Zion / And a comet rips the sky / And the Holy Roman Empire rises, / Then You and I must die. / From the eternal sea he rises, / Creating armies on either shore, / Turning man against his brother / 'Til man exists no more.

Question: How much did 5 or 6 year old Harvey Stevens understand about this story and his role in it while the film was being made?
Answer: A child that age would have very little understanding about the plot or his role and would be told little about it. He would simply respond to directions and cues.
