* [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]: All Starinski wanted, [[Sarcasm Mode|poor dear]].
* [[Anachronism Stew]] : Not very overt, but there are some inconsistencies. In one scene, Charlie picks up and wields a [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/MP_18:MP 18|Bergmann MP 18]] SMG - unless the film is set in 1918, this early example of a machine pistol can't possibly be found on the front, since the Germans started using it in the last year of the war. The Lee-Enfield rifles wielded by the soldiers are also a later, WWII-era version of the model (the WWI version being harder to come by). But the most obvious example by far is the surprisingly small radio receiver they find and repair. No country had military or civilian radios that small and advanced during WWI. It would fit better in the 1920s.
** Regards the SMLE, the [[WW 1]] version (the No.1 [[Mk III]] or [[Mk III]]*) is not difficult to come by at all: the Australians went on making them until after World War 2.
** Actually, the Bergman was first fielded by 1916 in small numbers
Line 28:
* {{spoiler|[[Gainax Ending]]}}
* [[Genre Blindness]] : Both played straight and averted.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Most of the cast are commonly seen on British TV (but perhaps not to the point that everyone knows their names without looking them up).
** [[Billy Elliot Plot|Billy Elliot]] and [[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|Gollum]] wade through the mud of a haunted trench on the western front.
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|Most of the cast, who are each shown to be morally flawed (or just unlucky) in some way, are shown to get their comeuppance in various gruesome ways. Especially Quinn. *shudder*}}
