Continuity mistake: Just after the opening credits, Gregg Parker arrives at a fire site, in a helicopter, with a woman he met on a plane. He has a conversation with Chance Buckman as the rotor on the copter slows down to a near stop. As the conversation continues, they cut to a slightly different shot, with the copter still in the field of view, only the rotor is now turning quite rapidly.
Hellfighters (1968)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Andrew V. McLaglen
Starring: John Wayne, Katharine Ross, Vera Miles, Jim Hutton
Other mistake: The crew goes up to Calgary in January to extinguish an oil fire, yet there's no snow on the ground, the grass is green, and all the deciduous trees have leaves.
Chance Buckman: Exactly what did you tell her about Madame Loo?
Greg Parker: Only that she's 80 years old, weighs 300 pounds and is one of your oldest friends.
Trivia: Vera Miles plays Madelyn Buckman, the mother of Tish Buckman (Katharine Ross). In real life, Miles is only eleven years older than Ross.
