The events were standard (acceptable); the actual life styles were politically correct to reflect today's times...no one smoked cigarettes in the film (one or two token actors smoked). During WW2 even the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt smoked cigarettes; Churchill always smoked a cigar! Pappy Boyington, a WW2 USMC Corsair pilot ace, flicked his cigarette out of the plane's cockpit, then reclosed his canopy...an indication that he was going in for the attack, during dog-fights. His squadron mates watched Pappy's moves, they knew when the attack would commence, by waiting for him to toss out his cigarette.

Tom, Dick and Harry

Private James Francis Ryan was one of four sons of William and Margaret Ryan. The other brothers were Daniel, Peter and Sean. All four enlisted in the US Army in the same company of the 29th Infantry Division for a period of time. However, the four brothers were reassigned to different units following the loss of the Sullivan Brothers in November of 1942. James, the youngest of the brothers, qualified as a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division and participated in Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944. All three brothers of Pvt James F. Ryan were killed in action within a couple of weeks of one another.

The battle occurred during the time of Xerxes at Themoplyae. Just Wiki Thermoplyae or Xerxes, and there you have it. The Battle of Thermopylae was fought for 3 days in the late summer of 480 BC, September perhaps. There have been several books published by historians and each has a different date for the battle; from August to September. But 480 BC is the established year.

Obviously the best site to watch instant videos of Band of Brothers would be YouTube. Band of Brothers, a TV miniseries, was based on World War II stories from Stephen Ambrose's book based on the same title. Videos can also be watched on the OVGuide website or by subscribing to services such as Netflix.

There really was a Roman emperor named Marcus Aurelius, and he had a son named Commodus, who succeeded him. In contrast to the movie, Marcus named Commodus his successor, rather than Maximus. However, some historians suspect Commodus did have a hand in his father's death. Commodus did not die in the arena. He was killed by a wrestler. After Commodus' death, Rome did not return to a republic as suggested in the movie. General Maximus Decimus Meridius is a fictitious character. There was a general named Avidius Cassius, who fought in the campaign depicted in the film and, upon hearing of Marcus' death, declared himself emperor of Rome. However, his own soldiers assassinated him. Later in Roman history, there was a general named Maximus, who appears to have had revolutionary ideas. Commodus really did have a sister named Lucilla, and, as depicted in the movie, she hated him. Lucilla was married to the co-emperor, Lucius Verus. Lucilla plotted to have Commodus assassinated, but Commodus had her exiled for the plot and later executed. So, unlike what happened in the movie, Commodus outlived his sister. It was another sister, not Lucilla, that Commodus was rumored to have had sexual relations. The tattoo on Maximus' arm reads, "SPQR." The letters relate to an often-used Latin phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus, which means "the Senate and People of Rome." However, it is highly unlikely a Roman general would have such a tattoo, as tattoos were worn by foreigners and lower-class citizens.

it was intentionally done. Not entirely sure if they had any comical reasons behind it, however what i know for certain is the main reason for the change is to distinguish it from an old Italian war movie made in 1977 called "Inglorious Bastards".

Relative factual/comical note:

In Australia an old burger restaurant was named Burger King, hence the famous American burger restaurant's name has been replaced in the country to "Hungry Jacks".

The Movie is based on a book by the same name and is an accurate account of the ambush of American soldiers who were sent to Mogadishu, Somalia to help the country control the drug lords and terrorists. The main battle in the movie takes place on October 3, 1993.

It was called TWISTED BRAIN, aka HORROR HIGH.

Waht was ???? I have the same question. WHO KNOW ???? Answer please..... Yes, I saw the movie in the 1970's. I could not remember the title, but I remembered that it had Lloyd Bridges and Eric Braeden, so I used their names to look up the title on the IMDb. The movie was called Death Race. I would like to see it again too.

No it is Gaelic -- Irish --means little king.

No , not really . In both book and film the tragedy of war and the loss of life on both sides means that there could never be any heroes unless it would be 'Peace' personified . The reader/audience will identify with the lead character of Paul Baumer and will be sympathetic with the sufferings of the common soldier's experiences in war .

Although his fate is not directly seen. Private Jackson is in the bell tower when it is hit by a shell from the tank below. He had no time to get out of the tower and was most likely killed in the explosion.
Yes, he probablly died because the tank shot the tower and it was destroyed.
