Continuity mistake: While showing the other tank commanders the unit's objectives on the map with his finger, Lieutenant Parker removes it, but the next shot of him and the tankers shows him still pointing on the map. (00:18:20)

Continuity mistake: As "Fury" and her crew roll towards the house/aid station, they pass by a gate. The next shot shows the tank still some distance from the gate. (01:23:10)

Continuity mistake: Wardaddy raises his cigarette lighter to his cigarette twice while he speaks to Norman after the town has been taken. (00:51:30)

Trivia: Grady Travis' nickname "Coon-ass" indicates he is most likely from the state of Louisiana, as the residents of that state proudly call themselves "Coon-asses." They also proudly display the name on their vehicles in the form of bumper stickers.

Continuity mistake: As Sgt. Collier shaves, Irma is pouring coffee in the kitchen by the sink, facing Collier. The next shot she is standing in front of the stove. (00:58:30)

Trivia: During filming, the other tank crew cast members referred to Brad Pitt as "Top", as he was considered the "Top Dog" of the crew. "Top" also refers to the rank of First Sergeant, aka "Top Sergeant."

Trivia: Staff Sergeant Collier's nickname, "War Daddy" is based on the nickname of real World War 2 Sherman tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. Pool, who fought with the 3rd Armored Division. Pool survived the war (though he lost a leg from his last combat operation) and died in 1991.

Trivia: Michael Pena, who played Gordo, actually learned how to drive the vintage Sherman tank that was used in the film.

Scott215

Factual error: During the final battle, Gordo the tank driver calls out, "Panzerfaust, four o'clock!", as he looks through his periscope. He could not have seen any targets at four o'clock, as the driver's periscope could barely rotate towards the eleven and one o'clock positions, close to the left and right front corners of the tank's hull. The four o'clock position would be near the right rear of the tank.

Trivia: The Tiger tank used in the battle with Fury is an actual German Tiger tank that was captured by British forces in North Africa in 1943. Its original turret number is 131, meaning the tank is from the 1st company, 3rd platoon, 1st tank, which was the platoon leader's vehicle.

Scott215

Deliberate mistake: "Fury" director David Ayer acknowledges that he committed a deliberate error by having the German Tiger tank blast the last Sherman in the column, tank doctrine being that the lead vehicle in a column gets blasted, then the last to stall the column, leaving the vehicles in between the dead vehicles easy pickings. Ayer said if the doctrine was followed in the film, Brad Pitt's tank would have been destroyed first and thus the film would end, roll credits. (01:15:00)

Continuity mistake: As Sgt. Collier is speaking with Lt. Parker, Collier turns his head to the right in the first shot to face Parker, then turns his face right again to face Parker a second time.

Scott215

Factual error: One scene has Sgt. Collier having a conversation with Norman as they are riding on the turret of "Fury" without their tank intercom throat mikes and headphones. The noise of the moving tank alone would cause any conversation to be a shouting match between the two soldiers. Further, they are in column with three other noisy tanks, which would make a casual conversation even more difficult without utilizing their tank intercom system. (01:14:20)

Scott215

Factual error: The film shows the American and German tanks firing at each other on the move. Tank warfare doctrine dictated that tanks must be stationary when shooting at a target, to ensure a hit. Some tanks were equipped with stabilizers on their guns to allow firing on the move. All the tanks in "Fury" (German and American) were not so equipped. (01:17:15)

Scott215

Continuity mistake: Not more than one to two hours after Wardaddy shaves his face clean in the German ladies' apartment, a closeup shot of him in the tank shows beard growth of 2-3 days.
