“Letters from Iwo Jima” Goofs List

  • Revealing mistakes: All the motor vehicles have the steering wheel on the left. Japanese vehicles, like the British, have the steering wheel on the right, as they keep to the left side of the road.
  • Anachronisms: The bottle of Johnnie Walker appears to have a screw cap made of aluminum. At that time liquor bottles had a cork stopper.
  • Anachronisms: The Japanese script uses a number of “gairago” (foreign loanwords), which are in current use, but would have been frowned upon by the nationalist government at the time. These include “raifuru” for “rifle” and “jiipu” for “jeep”.
  • Errors in geography: In the second-to-last scene, the captured Japanese soldier is taken to the American landing zones, which were exclusively on the east of Iwo Jima, just north of Mt. Suribachi. The soldier, Saigo, then witnesses the sun ’setting’ in the east, not the west.
  • Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the tunnel battle to defend Mt Suribachi, when the Japanese soldier looks up the cave opening and is about to get set alight by the Marine’s flamethrower, it is clearly visible that the uniform has been wetted with the fireproof grease, but a few moments before that, his uniform was completely dry.
  • Factual errors: They used a post-WWII Russian (Soviet) army vehicle. A Gaz 69, which was first produced in 1953 and was produced until 1972.
  • Anachronisms: The world map seen in the Japanese command center on Iwo Jima does not demarcate the then British colony of Newfoundland, including it a part of Canada instead. Newfoundland did not join Canada until 1949.
  • Factual errors: The military transport plane, seen several times, is a Beech C-45 (D-18) and not a Japanese plane.
