Other mistake: When counting out Adam Faith in the boxing match, the referee counts 1 - 4 in Spanish then (with his back turned to camera) adds 'cinque' - Italian. I suspect this was dubbed post-production because the location of the scene was in Spain and the actor Spanish.
Stardust (1974)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Michael Apted
Starring: Larry Hagman, Adam Faith, David Essex, Ines Des Longchamps
Genres: Drama
Factual error: While the band's clothes and hairstyles are right for the era the film was set in (the sixties), the hair fashions and clothes of the extras, especially the audience and security men, are from when this film was made - the mid seventies. The crowd scenes were taken at contemporary David Essex concerts which explains the 70's fashions seen.
Sally Potter: Are you a Stray Cat?
Mike: No, I'm a roadie.
Sally Potter: Roadie sounds like some sort of vagrant. What is that exactly?
Mike: It's like an army batman, only without the uniform. I make sure there's enough beer, chips and rubbers to go round. I supply the birds, the pills and the pot. And anything else that might be required to satisfy their lust... carnal, or otherwise.
Trivia: Adam Faith limps in stardust as he was injured in a car accident shortly before filming, but this fitted his character Mike, as Mike exited the prequel "that'll be the day" when he was beaten up by thugs although Mike was played by Ringo Starr in that film.
