Fans find mistakes in Gangs of New York

Fans have found a number of mistakes in Martin Scorcese's epic Gangs of New York.

The website MovieMistakes.com has discovered 29 mistakes in the film starring Leonardo diCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis.

One of the biggest errors involves the Brooklyn Bridge.

Near the end of the film during a scene set in 1863, the bridge is shown in the background – even though it wasn’t actually constructed until 1870.

In another scene, the American flag has 50 stars – long before the country had 50 states.

And in one scene, bananas can clearly be seen on the floor – even though they weren’t introduced in America until 20 to 30 years later.

However, the film is fairly error-free compared to last year’s Spider-Man in which fans found 150 mistakes.
