Revealing mistake: In this film, you can see where the present-day lines on the basketball court have been sanded off and "50's" style lines added.
Hoosiers (1986)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: David Anspaugh
Starring: Gene Hackman, Dennis Hopper, Barbara Hershey, Sheb Wooley
Continuity mistake: After the two boys leave the team at the beginning of the film, Gene Hackman has the boys doing a passing drill with six guys. The problem is that there were only five guys on the team. It even shows a seventh player on the sidelines.
Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: Clete, you tell him. Sectionals of '33, one point down. Five, four, three, two, one, let 'er fly... in and out. Yeah, well, I was fouled.
Trivia: Near the end of the film in the locker room prior to the championship game, Coach Dale makes reference to the players on the other team whose names are written on a chalkboard. If you look closely at the list of names, you'll see that they are the last names of the actors that portray the Hickory players (Poole, Schenk, Boyle, etc).
