Continuity mistake: When Halloran sets the barn on fire to distract the Germans he lights up some straw with a match. All of a sudden you see flames flickering up at various places which could not be caused by the fire he made. (01:32:45)
Hanover Street (1979)
Directed by: Peter Hyams
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Harrison Ford, Lesley-Anne Down, Alec McCowen
Factual error: The lid Halloran removes before the jump out of the plane is much too small. They wouldn't have made it through the opening with their parachutes strapped on. (01:05:45)
Character mistake: Before they jump off the plane Halloran should at least have checked if Sellinger has his parachute strapped on properly, knowing that the other guy has absolutely no experience. (01:05:55)
Trivia: Halloran's plane, George-Ann, is named after the director's wife.
David Halloran: You've got to go to him, and I've got to turn and walk away.
David Halloran: Think of me when you drink tea.
Sarah Sellinger: Mummy... when am I going to get breasts?
Margaret Sellinger: Next Tuesday. Why?
Sarah Sellinger: I don't know. Sometimes I think they look silly.
Margaret Sellinger: Well, they do look best with formal wear.
