Corrected entry: When the football referee is penalizing the coach for multiple infractions, he does not throw his flag until the last penalty he calls. He would have thrown his flag for the first one, and his hat for the subsequent penalty.

Correction: After the legally blocked pass (the reason Coach Jones was hot), the first flag is seen flying from the right side of the screen. For the second call, the ref is seen grabbing the flag from his belt (the flag is visible); then the camera cuts to a close-up when the flag is thrown, so it is not seen flying. The third flag is not seen thrown but is flying when the camera immediately cuts to a distant shot.

Corrected entry: Forty minutes into the movie, the football team is boarding a school bus for an away game. It's pouring rain, but there are tree shadows everywhere, on top of the bus and on the ground.

Correction: It's possible for the sun to be out while it's raining. In fact, that's how rainbows are formed.

Corrected entry: Radio is listening to the away game in the rain on the radio, the sports announcer states that the 4 and 4 Yellow Jackets must win their last two games in order to remain in the playoff bid. The Yellow Jackets loose that game which would make them 4 and 5. At the last game of the 10 game season, it is stated that the Yellow Jackets are 5 and 5 which would indicate that the game they played against their rivals would have been their 11th game, which they won, and would make their season record 6 and 5.

Correction: They only played one game after that. They didn't play and win twice. They played one more and one once.

Factual error: About fifteen minutes into the film, Ed Harris is in his home watching film from the previous game. In the background, but purposely featured to make comparisons between Harris' character and former Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, is a commemorative Bear Bryant Coca-Cola bottle. The bottle commemorates the Bear's then-record 315th career victory as a head coach - a feat accomplished in 1981, five years AFTER the movie's 1976 setting.

Question: In the trailer for Radio (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316465/trailers-screenplay-E18624-314), at the 1:23 point, some very distinctive music begins. This same music was used in one of the trailers for Forrest Gump. Is there a connection between the two?

Jeff Swanson

Chosen answer: Probably not. Many trailers re-use distinctive music from older trailers they are not related to.
