Beerfest

Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie, when Jan and Todd watch Ireland go against Germany, the scoreboard reads 2-2 for the "Boot Line Chug," implying a best-of-five bracket. However, when the Americans compete, it is merely the "Line Chug" sudden death in a best of seven event.

Suggested correction: The rules simply changed in the year between the 2 beerfests. The MLB World Series used to be best of 5 but was changed to best of 7 in 1985.

Continuity mistake: When Fink is explaining the difficulty of the boot on the chalk board, he draws one circle on the toe of the drawing, it then changes to two after he throws Bo Bo and says "Sorry" and changes back to one circle again. You can tell that they are two different drawings altogether.

Questions

Question: In the end Fink finally figures out the trick to the boot. How come the Germans don't use this trick, but drink the boot straightforward instead of spinning it like the Americans do?

Answer: Overconfidence. The Germans are convinced that they'll never master Das Boot, so they're too busy watching for the Americans to fail to concentrate on their own boot.
