Audio problem: The messenger at the beginning leaps off his horse and says, "They're all dead. Alamo." Watch closely and you'll see his lips don't match "Alamo" and he keeps speaking without making a sound. (00:02:25)
Audio problem: When the Mexicans begin their final attack, we see Travis call to Joe to wake him up, but if you watch closely, you don't see his lips move, you just hear "Joe."
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Travis hands Seguin the third message to Houston the off-center seal is closer to Travis. As Seguin takes it the seal is closer to him. (00:56:15)
Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana: If we are not successful, our grandchildren and their grandchildren will beg for crumbs from the Americans.
Trivia: The film cost $107m to make and earned only $26m worldwide. It is considered one of the all time movie flops.

Answer: The siege of the Alamo lasted thirteen days, so events would happen both day and night. The actual final assault began at around 5am, and took no more than ninety minutes - it was over by sunrise.
