“Remember the Titans” Goofs List
- Revealing mistakes: Player uniforms throughout the film look unrealistically grass stained, as if they’ve been intentionally distressed.
- Revealing mistakes: All “road” games for T.C. Williams obviously filmed on the same field, including the State Championship game.
- Continuity: During a game sequence, an opposing running back runs a sweep. He fumbles the ball which is picked up by a Titan player, who runs it in for a touchdown, the wrong way.
- Anachronisms: High school football rules in 1971 did not allow a recovered fumble to be advance by the recovering team. This happens several times in crucial situations.
- Anachronisms: In the early 1970s, Igloo coolers were galvanized steel, not plastic as shown.
- Anachronisms: The helmets are of a late 1990s design, which are much more strongly designed and made than those actually worn in the early 1970s when this movie takes place.
- Factual errors: After football camp the players return. The subtitle states the first day of school as September 4th (1971). This was a Saturday and would not be the first day of school.
- Revealing mistakes: A helmet can be seen on the driver of the car when it spins after being hit.
- Continuity: In stadium, the people are dressed for cold weather. Afterwards in the downtown scene they are dressed like it is a warm summer night.
- Continuity: When Sunshine first comes to the team during training and throws the ball at Gary, it appears to be dropping to the right of his back and missing. But hits him in the middle of his back in the final close range shot.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While at Gettysburg, Coach Boone says 50,000 men died there during the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War. There were approximately 50,000 casualties (killed/wounded/missing), but the actual number killed was much lower.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Coach Boone goes to Coach Yost’s house to apologize for accepting the head coaching job, the cameraman is reflected in the window just before Boone knocks on the door.
- Continuity: When the players are at camp eating lunch after the first practice, Blue starts humming and Rev says, “Lord, we come before you today and ask you to soften big Julius Campbell’s heart.” “Lord, we come before you today” is clearly repeated when the camera switches to Ray talking with Gerry.
- Anachronisms: In the championship game, the team opposing the Titans starts using the shotgun offense. The Titans’ assistant coach recognizes the play immediately and clearly knows it’s a pro-type offense, saying, “Who do these guys think they are, the New York Jets?” However, in 1971, the shotgun formation had not been used in the NFL for over a decade (and then only by one team, the San Francisco 49ers) and was not a part of the pro playbook until Tom Landry reintroduced it with the Dallas Cowboys in 1975. If the coach had recognized the formation at all he would never have associated it with the Jets or the pros.
- Anachronisms: A “CSX” railroad car appears in the background. This movie takes place in 1971 and the CSX railroad corporation was not formed until the mid 1980s.
- Revealing mistakes: During the locker room scene, a tattoo on the right shoulder of the actor who plays Petey can be seen, though it has been covered with make-up to make it less visible.
- Revealing mistakes: In the locker room scene where the players are talking about Gerry Bertier’s mom, you can see a covered up superman tattoo on the actor’s arm who plays Gerry.
- Factual errors: T.C. Williams High School had actually been integrated since 1963. The successful 1971 football season was not credited to integration but to consolidation of two other high schools; the tripling of the class sizes gave them a larger talent pool to choose from. There was racial violence at that time in Alexandria but not over the football team; instead it was over an unrelated incident where a white convenience store clerk killed a black student in a struggle.
- Anachronisms: In the opening scene the train going by has sunken well double stack trailer cars. These were not in common use until the 80’s.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the locker room when the players are singing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. The actor who plays Blue can be heard singing “No, No, darlin”‘ when the lyric is “Don’t worry, baby”.
- Continuity: When Sunshine first comes to the practice and throws the football at Gerry you can see Alan and Blue standing behind Gerry watching the football fly through the air. But when the football hits Gerry you see Alan and Blue in front of him turning to laugh.
- Factual errors: At the end of the game where Petey talks to Sunshine about how they will never be up by 50 points, the announcer makes it plain that the Titans won with a last second touchdown. The scoreboard reads 17-10, meaning they won by a touchdown and an extra point. If they scored with no time left as is implied, they would not have kicked an extra point. Therefor, the final score should have been 16-10.
- Factual errors: The correct name of the Groveton team that they played in game three was the Tigers, not the Lions.
- Factual errors: Bertier is shown wearing a T.C. Williams letter jacket, with letter, in the middle of the season. Letters are awarded after the season has ended. Since TCW is a new school, and this is their first season ever, no TCW letters would have yet been awarded.
- Factual errors: In the pre-game talk before the first game, Coach Boone says, “In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. They ruled their universe with absolute power.” However, the titans ruled the *Earth*, and were overthrown by the Olympians.
- Continuity: In one of the games, Sunshine’s first pass of the game is thrown with his right hand, even though he is shown to be left-handed
- Factual errors: As with most “based on a true story” stories, there are several discrepancies between the real events and the way they are portrayed in the film.
- Anachronisms: The players High-Five in the gym. In 1971, they would have given “skin”: palm up to palm down.
- Continuity: Facemasks on helmets change from shot to shot in games.
