Factual error: In the scenes of Ian Fleming in the Naval Intelligence HQ, there is a map of Scandinavia on the wall. The map already has the post-war borders of Finland on it.
Age of Heroes (2011)
Directed by: Adrian Vitoria
Starring: Sean Bean, Danny Dyer, Aksel Hennie, Izabella Miko
Character mistake: When the American hands over the wills to Ian Fleming he calls him Lieutenant Commander, but when Fleming turns up at the camp he has gold braid on his cap - only commanders and above wear gold braid. Also they kept calling the RAF guy Flight Sargent but he didn't have a crown above his stripes.
Factual error: During the assault on the radar station, the commandos seize a German machine gun and employ it effectively. The movie takes place in 1940, yet the machine gun is an MG42, which was not issued until 1942.
