Gallipoli (1981)
1 trivia entry
Directed by: Peter Weir
Starring: Mel Gibson, Mark Lee, Bill Kerr, Charles Lathalu Yunipingu, Harold Hopkins
Factual error: Mel Gibson and Mark Lee leave their jobs working on the Pichi Richi Railway (north of Adelaide) to join the Australian Light Horse Brigade (about to sail to Turkey from Perth in 1914). To do this, we see them travel over 1000 miles across the Nullarbor Plain by train. But the tracks were not laid until 1927.
Archy Hamilton: We don't stop them there, they could end up here.
Camel Driver: And they're welcome to it.
