Revealing mistake: In this film, you can see where the present-day lines on the basketball court have been sanded off and "50's" style lines added.
Hoosiers (1986)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: David Anspaugh
Starring: Gene Hackman, Dennis Hopper, Barbara Hershey, Sheb Wooley
Factual error: During most of the basketball games, you can see an American flag in the background. This is not the problem, the problem is that it is hung wrong, the stars should always be on the top LEFT not RIGHT.
Merle Webb: Let's win this one for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here.
Trivia: Near the end of the film in the locker room prior to the championship game, Coach Dale makes reference to the players on the other team whose names are written on a chalkboard. If you look closely at the list of names, you'll see that they are the last names of the actors that portray the Hickory players (Poole, Schenk, Boyle, etc).
