Movie Trivia/Goofs

SPOILER: At the end of the film there are 17 survivors. However, there were only 16 survivors of the crash that the film is based on. The real-life counterpart of the character "Hugo Diaz" died in the avalanche.
Movie Goof (factual errors): In reality, the plane tail was ripped off by the torn-off right wing which had clipped a mountain peak before. In the movie, it's the tail clipping a mountain peak and then being ripped off.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: In the scene after the avalanche has occurred, Roy is seen digging for Antonio. Once Roy reveals Antonio's face under the snow, you see Antonio's mouth move, flinching to Roy's touch. Unfortunately, Antonio is dead and shouldn't be able to move at all.
Ethan Hawke refused to grow a beard for the film. He maintained his goatee throughout the entire filming of the movie.
