Pearl Harbor was chock full of inaccuracies. In one scene, a plane is flying over Long Island, and there are mountains in the background. In another, an American soldier is sent to England to fight the Germans, even though the US was neutral in that conflict at the time. The soldier left for England from New York City, but the railroad station looked a lot like Union Station in Los Angeles. And one would think it would be difficult to get from New York to England by train.

The scene where the Japanese sailors are in that pool pushing the model ships around is an old coastal battery casemate. My old man burst out laughing when he saw that, said there was one like that near San Fran.

Don’t forget the formation flying of B-25s to Japan from the Hornet. Pathetic.
