“The Peacemaker” Goofs List
- Continuity: Toward the end of the chase scene in Vienna, the Mercedes’ back left window opens and closes.
- Continuity: Early in the Vienna chase scenes, Devoe’s MB has the passenger’s door dented. Toward the end, in the last scene before the explosion, the passenger’s door has no damage.
- Continuity: When Devoe is first cornered in the MB, two small sections of his car’s grill drop off as he rams the other cars. A few moments later, the grill is completely intact.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In his tape, Gavrich says, “I am a Serb. I am a Croat. I am a Muslim.” This is his way of saying, “I am Everyman,” not a specific declaration of his religion, so crossing himself is not inconsistent.
- Continuity: During the scene with the three BMW’s in the town square, the front and rear driver’s side windows of Devoe’s Mercedes-Benz appear open in one shot, and the rear is closed in the next.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: At the end of the movie, when Devoe calls Julia’s name three times, the second time his lips don’t move.
- Continuity: When Devoe and Dr. Kelly are sitting at a table on an Air Force jet traveling to Europe, Devoe’s collar is alternately sticking out/tucked in between shots
- Continuity: During the car chase in Vienna, Devoe’s Mercedes is alternately wet/dry between shots.
- Factual errors: When the three American helicoptors are going in to destroy the truck, but are threatened by Russian groud-air missles, they say “we repeat”. Repeat in military terms means “Repeat Fire” or “Fire Again”. The correct term should have been “We say again”.
- Revealing mistakes: In photographs of the truck supposedly taken by satellite, foreground objects are larger than those in the background. This kind of perspective would not be visible in an image taken by satellite.
- Factual errors: The fax number that Col. Devoe gives to his Russian General friend is missing two digits. North American phone numbers have a three-digit area code followed by seven digits. Devoe says 001, which is arguably the international code to call the USA from Russia, then three digits (the area code), and then only five more digits.
- Continuity: When Dr. Kelly and Lt. Col Devoe first get to Vienna, she is clearly wearing taupe colored pumps. As they are walking out of the square with Dimitri, she is wearing black knee-high boots.
- Factual errors: Just before he dies, Vlado Mirich says “Zelim da sve bude kao pre” which does mean “I want everything to be as before”, but if he is from Bosnia, he would say “Zelim da sve bude kao prije” because in Bosnia people use “ijekavica” and not “ekavica” (used in Serbia).
- Continuity: In a scene in Europe in a cobbled street, Dr Kelly is wearing a skirt. After they have stopped to talk to someone, she walks away in black trousers.
- Factual errors: the helicopter used to yank the cluster of missiles from the truck as it falls off the bridge, the HH-65, doesn’t have the load capacity to sling-load that much weight. It would have gone down as fast as the truck.
- Factual errors: The Pakistani colonel loads a nuclear bomb while general Kodoroff is watching – but the word KROJACH (KPOJA4) on one of the woven banners is in Serbian Cyrillic. This means that the scene was shot in the former Yugoslavia, even though it is set somewhere in Russia.
- Factual errors: Near the end of the Town Square scene in Vienna, Col. Devoe spins the rear wheels of the Mercedes, one of which has a flat tire and is backed up to a curb, which causes sparks to land on some spilled fuel. This wouldn’t happen because the Mercedes had aluminum wheels and aluminum doesn’t make sparks. Not to mention that, if Dimitri Vertikoff was making his Mercedes into a rolling tank with bullet-proof glass and the other features he mentioned, he would’ve had run-flat tires installed.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The piano teacher is supposed to be speaking Serbian yet he is actually speaking Macedonian.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Dr. Kelly is trying to determine what the reference 44-E refers to and looks at a map, she follows the 44 degree latitude. The reference would refer to the 44 longitude. Latitudes are designated as north or south, longitudes are designated as east and west.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The word “privileged” is misspelled as “priviledged” on Gavrich’s suitcase as it is moving up the conveyor belt onto his plane.
- Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, when the Russian Officer secures the rail car that contains the nukes, he opens a panel on the rear of the car which features two columns of buttons with numbers, and a red button at the bottom left, and green button at bottom right. Later during the hijacking, he opens the same panel to open the car door, yet the red and green buttons are at the top of the columns now.
- Factual errors: When Gavric arrives in the United States, he lands at La Guardia airport. This would not be the case because he was on an international flight, and La Guardia does not have customs facilities to clear international passengers. In reality, this flight would have landed at either JFK or Newark international airport.
- Crew or equipment visible: As Devoe and Kelly are walking to the car after leaving Schuhmacher’s office, a crew member can be glimpsed crouching down by the car’s radiator grille (possibly only visible in 4:3 fullscreen version of movie).
- Errors in geography: The script pretends that Soviet Union has never collapsed in 1991, although we can see the former-soviet republics shown in the map at the American Base in Turkey. Russia has no borders with Iran that Kodoroff can pass over to, carrying nuclear warheads with him. The three American choppers cannot directly pass the non-existing Turkish-Russian border to Russia.
- Revealing mistakes: During the Devoe/Kodoroff fight, George Clooney’s stunt double can easily be recognized in multiple shots.
- Continuity: The damage Devoe sustained in the fight in the back of the truck disappears and reappears throughout the end of the movie. Also, at times, the damage is extremely noticeable and looks very bad, at other times it can barely be seen.
- Miscellaneous: Early on in the film the subtitles read “If they discovered missing warheads they would of found us in hours.” This is grammatically incorrect and should read “would have”.
- Miscellaneous: In the graveyard Dusan’s associate addresses him as “Duscan”, according to the subtitles.
- Factual errors: The real church in Pale is much smaller and looks different then church portrayed in movie.
- Factual errors: Despite the fact that United Nations was deeply involved in war in Bosnia, IFOR forces were not allowed to search private houses and apartments.
- Continuity: When the hijackers short wires together to divert the bomb train into a head-on collision, the track switch moves the wrong way.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The files transferred from Shummaker’s computer are in English, not German. English is the lingua franca of international commerce, so as an employee of a multinational company, this isn’t too unlikely.
- Factual errors: When the missile is fired at the truck, utility poles go down one by one as if each was striking the next when it fell, but they aren’t, nor are the wires pulling on them; and if the blast knocked them over directly, then they would all fall at once.
