Revealing mistake: During the party scene, when Jacob starts hallucinating, you can see the stick that one of the fake birds is attached to.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Ving Rhames, Tim Robbins, Danny Aiello, Jason Alexander, Matt Craven
Factual error: Near the end of the movie, Jacob takes a cab to go back to Brooklyn, supposedly from another part of New York. However, in the next shot, we see that at the beginning of the ride, they are already in Brooklyn (on Division Ave, for those who know Brooklyn).
Jacob's Doctor: You're a lucky guy, Jake. You must have friends in high places.
Trivia: Macaulay Culkin, although playing a truly pivotal role, is not credited. Pretty peculiar, huh?
