Hansie: A True Story (2008)

Goofs

Hansie: A True Story

Edit

Continuity

Hansie is depicted proposing to Bertha after his maiden ODI century in February 1994. During the first Grey College scene, Mr Volsteedt refers to Bertha as 'Mrs Cronje' implying Hansie and Bertha have married already. The next scene shows Hansie's appointment as South African Captain which took place in November 1994.

However when Hansie learns of the match fixing allegations which took place in April 2000, Bertha says to Hansie that it is their fifth wedding anniversary which means they would have had to have married in April 1995, not prior to November 1994.

Factual errors

The first scene of the match between Australia and South Africa shows the players wearing numbers on their playing shirts. In 1994, only surnames were added onto playing shirts not numbers.
The discussion between England captain Nasser Hussain and Hansie in the Centurion test scene in actuality did not take place as depicted. Hansie had approached Nasser twice before the day's play offering a declaration and a total. Nasser refused both offers, requesting to inspect the behavior of the pitch before agreeing to a total of 250 runs to win.
During the portrayal of the ODI series in India, the commentator describes players Nicky Boje and Alan Dawson putting on a match winning partnership. In reality, the pairs partnership came during the 1998 Commonwealth Games Semi Final against Sri Lanka.
In the 1999 World Cup game against Australia, commentator Jack describes Australia winning the toss and batting first. In real life, South Africa won the toss and fielded first.
During the press conference scene in which Hansie is announced as captain, Dr Bacher states it will be the first time the team plays under the new South African flag. In fact, the team had played under the new South African prior to this scene during their 1994 tour of England.

Character error

Player Hershelle Gibbs is portrayed as being a player of colour. He was in fact, white mixed race. During Apartheid, this would have made him ineligible to represent South Africa.
