Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, the Red Witch has her lee rail almost awash, yet the view on deck and in the cabin following, the vessel is perfectly upright.

Mercy Moment Murder Measure - S1-E7

Factual error: Early in the episode, there is a long shot of Woodhull's farm, snow on the ground...and aeroplane vapor trails in the sky.

He Kane Hewa'ole - S1-E14

Factual error: Kono is driving a 4-cylinder Chevy Cruze in pursuit of a V-8 Mustang, and manages to stay right behind it.

Factual error: On their journey, Rooster is bragging about his navy colts, when actually his sidearm is a Colt .45 Peacemaker, also known as an Army Colt M1873.

Factual error: A delightful movie that theoretically takes place in the vicinity of Portland Oregon, over a period of many months. The problem is, that at no time does it ever rain, and anyone who has lived near Portland knows it rains half of the year.

goofyfoot

Factual error: When the captain is arguing with the Armed Services Committee chairman, Homeland Security is mentioned. However this movie takes place prior to Desert Shield, and the Department of Homeland Security wasn't created until over a decade later.

Revealing mistake: When the children stay with the tribe, all of the horses being ridden, although shown having a saddle blanket, actually have saddles under those blankets.

Factual error: When Steve blows his motor, as the crew is disassembling the engine, the pistons are not hemispherical-chamber type, and by 1968, no 426 wedge engines were in use.

Factual error: Despite numerous crashes throughout the racing, only one yellow flag was brought out. Cars were required to hold their positions under a yellow flag.

Factual error: First time I ever saw a 600 mile NASCAR race where nobody had to make a tire change.

Factual error: The Navy would not, in a million years, keep 16-inch powder bags on board a vessel destined to become a museum ship, especially 20-year old powder bags.

goofyfoot

Factual error: The museum girl locates crates down in the bowels of the Iowa, each with two 16-inch shells, weighing around 2700 pounds apiece, inside. The crates, made of relatively thin planking, would never support that weight, and the crew was depicted transporting them across the deck, presumably to feed them through the crew hatch under the turret overhang.

goofyfoot

Factual error: The Iowa is sailing with a depleted crew, one that most likely has no experienced gunner's mates. The 16-inch turret requires a 79-man crew to operate it, and can fire a salvo every 30 seconds. Despite these handicaps, the minimal crew in the movie was firing salvos every few seconds.

Factual error: As the team practices, the film shows the passage of time by using a calendar. The month of July ends on Thursday, the 31st, but August the first is shown to start on Wednesday.

goofyfoot

Factual error: The three panzers that ambushed the Hellcats are supposed to be Mk. III's with the 50mm gun, but they only had 5 bogie wheels, instead of 6, and no driver or radio operator's hatches.

goofyfoot

Factual error: When Natalie decides to rebuild the carburetor that Keith gave to her, she opens the rebuild kit and starts lying out the parts. The problem is that the kit is for a French Solex type 30 single-barrel carb, and the carburetor in the box is a domestic four-barrel.

Show generally

Other mistake: When Ray is interrogated by Hamer, he states that Clyde drives nothing but a V8 Ford, but in the scene immediately afterwards, Bonnie and Clyde show up at his brother's house, driving a 4-cylinder Model A.

Show generally

Factual error: When Byron goes to Paris in search of his son, he is in the uniform of a lieutenant commander in the US Navy, however he has "scrambled eggs" on his cover, reserved only for full commanders and above.

goofyfoot

Character mistake: When the supply convoy is ambushed, Soto is instructed to get on the .50 caliber. However, the weapon on the gun ring is a .30 caliber M1919 machine gun, not a "Ma Deuce" .50 caliber.

goofyfoot

Factual error: It's 1895, and the US Army is depicted using the venerable .45-70 trapdoor carbines. However two years earlier they upgraded to the Springfield Model 1893.
