Neal McDonough in Band of Brothers (2001)

Goofs

The Breaking Point

Band of Brothers

Edit

Continuity

Just before Hoobler shoots the German officer, the soldier next to him holds a M1 Garand rifle. In the next shot, he holds a M1 carbine, and finally when the German officer drops, he holds a M1 Garand again.
After Joe Toye finishes talking with Winters about how he wants to head back on the line, there is a close up of his face with his Thompson in the upright position on his shoulders, but in the next shot when he goes to talk to Bill Guarnere, the Thompson is being carried upside down
Compton can be seen twice in two different shots removing his coat to keep Hoobler warm.
Hoobler shoots the German officer (on horseback) in the head an kills him. However, while falling off the horse, the German soldier's helmet comes off and he grabs his head. A few shots later, his helmet is back on.
When Lipton is first seen talking to Winters after Hoobler has been killed, Winters' face and head are completely still. In the very next shot, he is quite visibly shaking hard.

Factual errors

Lt. Dike is portrayed here as incompetent. The real Dike was decorated for acts of heroism and was later promoted to captain.
At the beginning of the episode Buck Compton points to a line on the map and says this must be the logging road. The line that he points to is actually a contour line used to identify differences in elevation.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

During scenes with Dick Winters, he is seen sitting under a canopy and surrounded by sandbags. The truth is there were no sandbags and canopies in Bastogne. He was dug in and sleeping in foxholes like the rest of the 101st Airborne. (He is actually in a bombed out structure, and what appear to be sandbags are the stones of the walls.)

Crew or equipment visible

In "The Breaking Point" when Luz is being pulled into the foxhole by Lipton, you can see the shadow of a camera operator at the bottom of the screen.

Character error

When the replacement PFC Harold Webb asks at the chow line if a lot of the guys in the company have been "injured," S/Sgt. Martin admonishes him that they've been "wounded" and that "injured" is "when you fall out of a tree or something." But two episodes earlier, in "Crossroads," it's S/Sgt. Martin, himself, who reports to Capt. Winters as they're evacuating Nuenen that the company has "four dead, eleven injured."
