Trivia
Ben Affleck, like other actors in the film, went to boot camp and took a pre-Ranger training course in preparation for this movie. He found the experience so painful and so horrible that he was willing to quit on the very first day, but for the fact that he was the star of the movie and knew word of quitting would get out. He reflected that the training was the hardest experience of his life, even compared to the prep of other action and military themed films he has made since.
Quotes
Rafe:
Earl, I said get some guns in that goddamn tower
Earl:
Right, guns in the tower, ten stories high. It's a long son-of-a-bitch
Goofs
When Rafe meets Evelyn outside the hospital with a bottle of wine, he accidentally hits his nose with the cork and lays his head on Evelyn's lap. Her right hand is holding some ice, but her left hand is nowhere to be seen, but in the following shot her left hand has appeared on Rafe's chin and cheek.
Crazy Credits
Unusually, Pearl Harbor started without showing the opening Touchstone and Bruckheimer logos; they only showed up after the end credits.
Alternate Versions
DVD version in Hong Kong is also similar to the one in Japan as described, but:
- the December 7th date is NOT changed;
- Colonel James Doolittle's (Alec Baldwin) line "Kill as many of those bastards as possible" was changed to "I myself would choose a sweet little target";
- a scene showing Japanese women in traditional kimonos and carrying parasols during Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo was NOT omitted.
