Other mistake: The inmates are watching "The Godfather"; specifically, the scene towards the end in which Don Corleone is speaking to Michael in the garden. Just before the inmates light the guard on fire, the audio jumps backwards: after we hear Don Corleone say "Whoever comes to you with this Barzini business...", the next line we hear is "I knew that Santino was gonna have to go through all this...", which is from earlier in the same scene. We then see the film and see Don Corleone's lips forming the line that follows the Barzini line, while the audio continues with the incorrect, earlier line. (01:35:15)
In the Name of the Father (1993)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Jim Sheridan
Starring: Emma Thompson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite, Alison Crosbie, Philip King
Continuity mistake: At the end of the trial, when he goes out of the tribunal, Daniel Day-Lewis has a different shirt - a different tone of green.
Gerry Conlon: That was a good day's work, McAndrew. A good day's work.
Joe McAndrew: Get away from me.
Gerry Conlon: You're not looking me in the eye when you're speaking to me. You see, I know how to look at people without blinking as well. In all my god-forsaken life I have never known what it was like to want to kill somebody until now. You're a brave man, Joe. A brave man.
Trivia: The Maguire Seven & The Guildford Four were shown in the film as being tried at the same time, when in fact they were tried separately.
