Factual error: On the night of 19 October 1933 the railroad workers begin betting whether A-One will make it to Portland on the 19. A quick closeup of the money changing hands reveals the $1's to have the Great Seal reverse (introduced in 1935) plus the motto IN GOD WE TRUST (introduced in 1957). Also, the green-seal Federal Reserve Notes and the red-seal United States $2 notes are of the types first introduced in 1934.
Emperor of the North Pole (1973)
Directed by: Robert Aldrich
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin, Keith Carradine, Charles Tyner
Continuity mistake: During the fight between A no 1,and Shack. Shack is cut with the ax, the ax head is coated with "blood," as A no 1 is setting up for another swing you can see the ax head behind his head, it is still "bloody," but as he starts the swing, the ax head is shiny and clean, and then it's bloody again.
Audio problem: In the scenes aboard the train, you can hear the railroad crossing signal. But in the scene there is no road or highway crossing the tracks, only forest or open field. This happens al least 8 times along the film.
A no. 1: Country's gone to hell.
A no. 1: Steers got horns, kid. You don't.
Hobo: Guess who, Shack? It's the big bad 'bo, Shack. And he's gonna bite your big bad ass.
