Visible crew/equipment: When DiCaprio is swimming towards his daughter who is floating face down in the lake there is a hand holding her foot to keep her in place, which lets go of her foot once DiCaprio is close enough.
Other mistake: During the flashback of the soldiers executing the Dachau guards, the soldiers are in a line opposite the guards who are in a line against a fence. The soldiers all start shooting at the same time, but we are shown the guards being mown down by gunfire in succession, like dominoes, rather than simultaneously.
Teddy Daniels: Baby, I love this because you gave it to me, but it is one fuckin' ugly tie.
Trivia: The scene where all the soldiers are shot along the fence is historically accurate, though there is debate on the exact numbers.
Question: Why does Teddy have a cut with a plaster (band-aid) on his forehead throughout the film?
Answer: He was in an altercation with the patient in ward C prior to returning to ward C and talking with him again. It was an injury sustained in the past due to that.

Answer: The bandage is a symbol indicating when and when not Teddy is caught in his delusions. When the bandage is on he is delusional, thinking he is the marshal finding out all the dark secrets of the facility. When the bandage is absent he is lucid and aware of his past crimes and his own delusions.
Wrong. It's on the whole movie until he takes a shower. The bandaid is off but yet that's the scene where he runs in the lighthouse thinking he's the Marshall still. Did you watch the movie at all?
