Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (revealing mistake): In the opening scene, as Briggs enters the elevator, the camera shows the bottom of the sliding doors do not touch the floor. Briggs is clearly stepping into a two-door closet.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Despite giving the Nazis fairly credible German Accents, their pronunciation of the few German words used are anglicized. This is particularly noticeable in the first briefing, when Frederick Rudd uses non-German pronunciations for the cities Berlin, Frankfurt, Stutttgart, Hamburg and Munich.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Willy Armitage doesn't work on this mission; however his picture is in Dan's stack of selected agents. Look closely when Dan tosses down Barney Collier's page, Willy's is clearly visible on the pile.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Cinnamon is lighting the smoke crystals on the pillow with the cigarette, Barbara Bain unintentionally drops the cigarette and she then unsuccessfully tries to catch it as it rolls off the edge of the pillow, but she then ignores it and carries on with the scene.
