In the background, at the left there's a sign for "Magic Mountain Pkwy" and at the right the California State Route 126 sign that reads "126 West, Ventura." After the Ford dealership is destroyed, another sign in the background reads "Los Angeles, Bakersfield" (the I-5 North to Bakersfield and I-5 South to Los Angeles). (01:25:55)

Return from the River Kwai picture

Revealing mistake: During the transport of the POWs by train (which starts about 26 mins into the film) the number on the side of the engine is visible as 719. About 3 mins (filmwise) into the journey it appears in mirror image. It appears they filmed the train moving from right to left, but throughout the film the train moves from left to right, so the film must have been reversed. It happens twice, the second time 14 min 24 sec after the first. (00:29:34)
