"Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 film set during the Invasion of Normandy in June 1944. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.

It won 5 Academy awards and a Golden Globe Award for best motion picture. It has been praised for the realistic way in which it filmed the battle scenes.

The film magazine Empire described the sequence showing the landing of U.S. forces at Omaha Beach as the ‘best battle scene of all time…"

The last scene when some one calls the P51 tank destroyers, kills it for me.

Dwindling Gravitas20 May 2017 2:32 p.m. PST

That is one pathetic list of minor continuity errors.

Agreed … and they also reference "two Panthers" in the movie … ?

I goofed my comment, blame my typing isn't asfastas my brain. There were no flamethrowers used on D-Day, but of course I can't find the link from expert on YouTube.

Very pathetic. For instance the switch rifle. So in the time we first saw it and they switched back to it he couldnt have switched hands? Is it glued on?

I haven't seen any references to giant tower bunkers on Omaha. The movie also shows Omaha to be more steep and hilly then it really was.

But… wasn't it filmed there?…
