Trivia

Actor Takamasa Ishihara (who portrays the cruel Watanabe) had to keep his distance from Jack O'Connell (who portrays Zamperini) on set in order to perform the acts of brutality towards him that were required for his role.

The film was shown at the Casina Pio IV, headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, at the Vatican on January 8, 2015. Pope Francis, who was aware of Louis Zamperini's story, did not attend the screening, but did meet the film's director, Angelina Jolie, and Luke Zamperini, the late athlete's son, afterwards.

The plane in this film, as in the actual history, gained the nickname the Green Hornet, after the radio hero-who teamed with a Japanese partner.

Goofs

At the train station scene when Peter is seeing Louis off, a 50-star US flag is hanging from the depot building. The stars are not arranged in the simple 8-row, 6-column configuration of the 48-star flag of 1912; rather, they have the offset arrangement of the 1959 50-star flag.

Share this

The Japanese flag in the POW camp is the current Japanese flag (Nisshoki, "sun-mark flag"). It is the red circle only. The flag included the sun's rays during WWII.

Share this

The national markings of the American transport plane shown near the end of the movie (1945) have a red dot in the middle of the star. That red dot was deleted from American planes in 1942 to avoid any possible confusion with the "hinomaru" red circle used by all Japanese planes.
