Filming Locations |
Did You Know?
Trivia | Filming in Czechoslovakia was interrupted by the Soviet invasion of August 1968. Cast and crew were taken to safety in a convoy of 28 taxis, except for Robert Logan, who stayed behind with film gear in order to capture the invasion on film and photo. According to the book "Bill Collins Presents The Golden Years of Hollywood", a half-replica of the bridge was built near Castelgandolfo, the Pope's summer residence south of Rome, and the film was completed in Hamburg (Germany) and various Italian locations. In 2007, BBC Radio aired "Solo Behind The Iron Curtain" a drama based on the invasion, starring Robert Vaughn as himself. See more » |
Goofs | As the bridge comes under fire, there is a German train approaching the bridge from one side as American tanks approach from the other. The American tanks open fire on the train and it explodes. However, the train then comes to an immediate halt. Real trains have an immense amount of momentum and require a considerable distance to come to a complete stop. The train we see explode is undoubtedly a scale model, but it should have been allowed to continue moving forward after having been hit. See more » |
