During this scene, a cigarette appears in Boland's mouth that was not in the previous shot. 9145 During one of the cabinet meetings, one of the members says Collins' brief is Minister for Intelligence, but he was actually Minister of Finance. He was, however, the IRA's Director Of Intelligence. 5087 In two scenes - first when Harry Boland is getting on a train, and next during the game which is machine gunned by the authorities, overhead DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) electric train lines are visible over the railway. The film is set between 1916 and 1922, and the DART started operations in 1984. 41474 When Kitty reads Michael's letter from England to Harry, there's some strange smoke arising from behind their chairs. 18653 The Lee Enfield rifle is chambered by singular repetitions with a bolt action. When Collins' wayward friend is shot in the water, the rifle shots are rapid semi-automatic fire.
