Continuity mistake: When John holds the match in the cave, the amount of match remaining varies between shots.
John Carter (2012)
Directed by: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins
Continuity mistake: When Edgar Rice Burroughs receives the diary from John Carter's attorney on the table, he grabs the book and turns it around to have the book's spine on this left hand. However, when the attorney stands up and shakes Edgar's hand to say goodbye, the book appears with the spine to his right.
Factual error: John Carter, while gold prospecting in 1868, is arrested by members of the 7th Cavalry, with the intention of employing him to fight the Apache in the Arizona and New Mexico Territories. Unfortunately, in 1868, the 7th was otherwise employed in Kansas and Indian Territory forcing the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes back on their reservations.
Trivia: Hidden Mickey: One of the red tattoos on Dejah's right arm.
Matai Shang: We do not cause the destruction of a world, Captain Carter. We simply manage it. Feed off it, if you like.
Tars Tarkas: You are ugly, but you are beautiful. And you fight like a Thark!
Tars Tarkas: When I saw you, I believed it was a sign... That something new can come into this world.
