Directed by: Phillip Noyce
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Harrison Ford, Sean Bean, Richard Harris, James Earl Jones, Anne Archer, Patrick Bergin
Visible crew/equipment: Early in the the film, after the attack in a shot with police tape in view, you can see a camera on a dolly along with the focus puller in the left side of the shot (wide screen version). (00:11:55)
Visible crew/equipment: As the crossing guard moves out of the way and the van resumes chasing Kathy's Porsche, a dolly of equipment is visible on the grass on the left. There is no dolly present in the scenes preceding it that show the area. (00:44:45)
Other mistake: The steamship shown in Patriot games is actually a shot from John Wayne's 1955 Sea Chase.
Suggested correction: The use of stock footage in movies is a common practice. More context would be needed to explain why this is a mistake.
Sean Miller: How's the family, Ryan? Nearly lost 'em, didn't you? It's easy to get at them. You should look after your family better, you know? Are you there?
Jack Ryan: Yeah.
Sean Miller: I understand your little girl's feeling better, eh? Lost her spleen though, eh? Pity, that. Make it a mighty tough on her to fight off infection, eh Jacky?
Jack Ryan: You sick son of a bitch.
Trivia: Richard Harris and James Fox are related by marriage: Harris' son Jared married Fox's niece, Emilia, in 2005.
Question: Before Admiral Greer shows up to tell Jack about Sean Miller's escape, where were the Ryans planning to go?
Answer: The movie never clearly says. It was some event that required tickets, as the mom runs back into the house to get them. And it was something Sally really wanted to go to, but it is never clear what the event was.
