The Professionals (1966)

2 corrected entries

★★★★☆

Starring: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode

Corrected entry: When Lee Marvin confronts the 3 Mexicans hanging Burt Lancaster upside down, he is holding a revolver. When he cuts Burt down, he is holding an automatic.

Correction: Marvin has two pistols. Revolver and automatic. He drops the revolver on the ground then pulls the automatic from his left holster.

Corrected entry: When Chiquita gets shot and hits the ground,her gun ends up on the ground quite a distance away. Burt Lancaster holds her up, and she now has the gun and tries to shoot him.

Correction: You may have a bad copy or different edit. The version I have shows Chiquita crawl toward her gun while Bill (Burt Lancaster) is looking toward Raza. She grabs the gun and hides under her body.

Mistakes

Factual error: In the scene where Lee Marvin states that Burt Lancaster loves explosions, Burt Lancaster makes a remark about the big bang theory. He says: the whole universe started with a big explosion. The film is set in 1917 which is 10 years before Georges Lemaître launched the big bang theory.
