“Windtalkers” Goofs List
- Continuity: At the end of the film, a back-shot of Ben Yahzee’s little boy shows a dog-tag chain around his collar, before Ben ever places the dog-tags around his neck.
- Crew or equipment visible: The shadow of the camera crane is visible at the beginning of the Marine friendly-fire sequence when Enders’ squad is getting out of the truck.
- Continuity: When Enders is describing to Yahzee how he threw the first medal he received into the ocean, his raised hand alternates between right and left between shots.
- Revealing mistakes: In the opening sequence, a man reacts to being shot by another man before the gun goes off.
- Revealing mistakes: In the final combat, just after the Japanese uncover their guns, one of them take a shot but the recoil is a good half second too late.
- Anachronisms: When Sergeant Enders sits down with his food during the first time he meets the Navajo radio operators, for a brief moment a modern radar site on a mountain top comes into view.
- Crew or equipment visible: Enders is receiving his mission briefing in the Admiral’s office, you can see a blue-taped “X” on the floor indicating where the Admiral is supposed to stand at the scene.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: Just before Pete Anderson joins Private Whitehorse in their flute/harmonica-duo, Whitehorse plays solo. However, the flute plays on, just for a second while he is clearly taking in air, and thus, obviously, cannot play.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Enders is pretending to be taken prisoner by Yahzee, and he goes to move behind Yahzee after being hit, you can see the shadow of a cameraman on the floor, moving with the shot.
- Crew or equipment visible: When the marines first land on Saipan there is a huge battle going on. Nicholas Cage stops to reload his Thompson and has a brief flashback to what happened to him on the Solomon islands. He then finishes reloading and runs up to a Japanese soldier who is on fire. If you look to the right of the screen as he is running, a man in all black is visible wearing goggles – obviously there for fire safety
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ben Yahzee is leaving his family he shares a firm handshake with an elder. In Navajo culture personal contact is very limited. The handshake would have been a brief, light touch if given at all.
- Anachronisms: In the Training scene where the code talkers are doing a transcription from an audio recording, we briefly see the machine playing the audio. The first Wire Recorder was not manufactured by Webster-Chicago until 1948. The machine used in Windtalkers is the “Webcor Model 181 Wire Recorder” which was not manufactured by Webster-Chicago until 1953. The movie is supposed to be set in the early 1940s.
- Anachronisms: The start of the Camp Pendleton sequence opens with a closeup of a 50-star U.S. flag which is incorrect for 1943, the year of the action. The closeup dissolves to an establishing shot of the camp’s parade square where a correct, 48-star flag is visible on the mast. The U.S. would not require a 50-star flag until 1959.
- Anachronisms: There is a 50-star US flag (instead of 48) at the Navajo enlistment ceremony.
- Continuity: When PVT Yahzee is pretending to be a Japanese soldier to get to the radio, he has the gun in the sergeant’s back in the close-up, but in the long shot it is pointed up and to his left.
- Revealing mistakes: Just before the convoy is hit by the friendly artillery, the ground charge used to simulate the first shell impact can be seen as the truck drives past it.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: After Enders’ death, the close-up reveals him to be blinking.
- Continuity: SPOILER: A little before Enders dies lying on the ground, there is blood gushing from his mouth (shot from above him), no blood (side shot), dried blood (next shot from above).
