Revealing mistake: As the ghost of Christmas present is finishing "It feels like Christmas", the camera starts to crane up. Look to the far right. The forced perspective effect starts to become noticeable with the background row of buildings. There are people that are slowly walking down that street and you can tell they don't get smaller as they should. Director Brian Henson said they were hoping people wouldn't notice the error.

He is about to start shooting into the view finder but doesn't. The scene cuts and the tank shoots at the area where Ryan and Reiben are. Cut back to the tank and Captain Miller is still standing next to the tank, and he shoots in the view window, repeating the action from the previous shot.
