The top mistakes in Gangs of New York http://www.moviemistakes.com/film2974 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:03 +0000 21341 In the scene of Bill the Butcher laying in bed with the naked women, one woman has a noticeable tan line from a bikini - a bit early for the bikini... 21366 In a scene set in 1862 or 1863 Bill the Butcher says: 'An Irishman will do for a nickel what a ****** will do for a dime or a white man for a quarter'. The first nickel 5 cent piece was coined in 1866. At the time of the scene the 5 cent coin was a small silver coin called a half-dime. 21068 At several times during the movie, Butcher Bill's glass eye changes to what looks like a normal eye. Also, if it is a glass eye, it shouldn't move along with his real eye. It should stay in one spot because no muscles are attached to it. 21066 After Bill the Butcher stabs and beats Amsterdam's face badly (and brands him with a hot knife) notice how as time passes the wounds heal then reappear in varying degrees of severity. This is particularly true with the branding, which is almost absent by the end. 22091 In the scene where Amsterdam kills the man that shot Bill the Butcher on the shoulder at the theater, you can see bananas on the floor. Bananas were traded in the U.S. only after the Civil War.
