Seconds after Grady pours the contents of the glass on Norman's head, his face and hair are completely dry.
When the tank crew finds the hanging civilian bodies, Wardaddy translates the sign on the woman's body as "I am a coward. I won't fight in the war." The sign actually says "I won't let my children fight in the war." A few minutes later another body has the "coward" sign that Wardaddy translated earlier.
When Wardaddy is in the apartment with the two women, he shaves his face thoroughly. About an hour later, during the battle against the German tanks, and his face is unshaven, same as before he entered the apartment.
As the exterior shots of the final battle abruptly show the scene in full darkness, later interior shots show daylight through the portholes. They show night much later.
After Collier and Bible drink several times from the bottle of fine whiskey inside the tank, the level of liquid does not change.
In the battle against the Tiger tank, the Fury crew of has to maneuver in order to penetrate the Tiger's weaker rear armor. Fury has an upgraded 76mm high-velocity gun, not the standard 75mm gun. At the range shown in the film, the 76mm gun could have penetrated the Tiger's frontal armor without issue.
A penetrating Panzerfaust hit in the fighting compartment would have been fatal for all crew members inside the tank, not just for a single man who happened to be in the way of the molten metal spray.
When Fury and the Tiger are trying to outmaneuver each other for firing position, the Tiger gets a shot on Fury's flank that is deflected by the logs on Fury's side. In reality, the logs were mostly useful as protection from shaped-charge weapons like the Panzerfaust. An 88mm shell, especially when fired from such close range, would have shredded the logs, punched through Fury's side armor like it was tinfoil, and probably continued right through the tank and out the other side.
When Wardaddy returns to camp at the beginning, a pan shot shows a black soldier in a group. Later, another Black soldier is sent to make contact with Wardaddy. The Army had limited integration in Europe after the Battle of the Bulge, but it didn't fully integrate until after WWII. The vast majority of Black soldiers served in segregated units with white officers. A Black soldier would have been a very unlikely choice for a messenger.
Both the US and German tank crews fire while driving their tanks. While firing while driving was sometimes necessary, both sides would train their crews to fire the cannon only when stationary. Bumping from the terrain could cause the cannon to lift or lower by inches, sending the shot possibly miles off the intended target.
Sgt. Collier calls white phosphorus munitions "Willie Pete." The American Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet was a radio alphabet developed in 1941 and used during WWII. White Phosphorus could have been referred to as WP or "William Peter", hence "Willie Pete".
Wardaddy's and Grady's haircuts are the typical "Landsertolle" of the German infantry. However, many troops who spent a lot of time in combat or on the front lines went weeks without shaving or getting their hair cut, and the army didn't get too particular about it.
The German anti-tank guns in the first frontal attack do not recoil.
Blank firing adapters blocking the muzzle of the .50 cal and .30 cal turret machine guns on Fury are clearly visible.
Set in April 1945, but the vegetation is too advanced for April. When Norman is sent out to scout at the crossroads, he crouches among English ivy, which is in flower next to his head. English ivy doesn't flower until late summer or fall.
When the Fury hits a mine, the track is broken and off of the drive sprocket. Later, when Norman wakes up after escaping through the bottom hatch, no track is visible, just road wheels.
At the beginning of the battle with the Tiger I tank, Don calls for a Smoke round to be fired. Grady grabs an M93 Hypervelocity Armour-Piercing Tracer Solid Shot (HVAP-T M93). Nicknamed "hyper-shot" by tank crews, it was intended to be a tank-killer. Grady loads the round and yells "Smoke's up!" Boyd fires in front of the Tiger I, revealing a cloud of white smoke. A White Phosphorus (WP T13E2) smoke round is just below and to the right of the HVAP-T round that Grady grabs.
In the beginning of the film, the camera sweeps across the inside of the tank. The cowgirl pinup poster shown is "Come And Get It," created by Gil Elvgren in 1959.
In one scene inside the tank, Boyd 'Bible' Swan smokes a Natural American Spirit cigarette. The brand was created in 1982.
Near the beginning of the movie, Wardaddy tells his crew to take care of mechanical issues."Issue" did not mean "problem" until the 1960s-1970s.
The young woman in the room wears a dress with a hemline well above the knee. Even with austerity in mind, the typical woman's hemline during wartime was about 1 inch (2.54 cm) below the knee.
The Zippo cigarette lighter is a modern version with rounded edges. It would have been square in the 1940s.
After a mine disables Fury and Wardaddy tells the group, "It's an SS battalion", Grady throws his large metal wrench down into the mud. It makes a metallic "clank," as if was hitting cement. It should have made a "splat" or nothing at all.
After Wardaddy gets his order from the Captain Waggoner to smash the guns and rescue my boys, Wardaddy briefs the other sergeants about the mission. Sergeant Miles says "Mount up fuck sticks" without moving his mouth.
When the first battle of the first mission is over and the tanks are parked, Wardaddy walks past the tanks towards the group. A red fire extinguisher is next to one of the tanks.
In a beginning scene when the medal collection is displayed, a Mother's Cross is displayed. A tank crew would have no reason to have "liberated" a Mother's Cross.
A Mother's Cross was awarded to a mother who had given birth to an Arian child.
All Sherman tank hatches are secured, or otherwise lockable, from the inside. The Fury crew would have never left one unlocked for the Germans to open from outside the tank.
There is no reason for the German soldier to fully open the hatch and gawk into the tank when they have the hand grenades ready. There is a very good reason to instead crack the hatch open just wide enough to shove in the grenades, to avoid getting shot by tank crew inside.
The Tiger seems unharmed until it gets penetrated in the engine compartment. For some reason it keeps driving back and forth despite the fact that Fury is trying to get around it. The commander points out they should not be allowed to get behind them; despite this fact, the Tiger doesn't seem to turn at all in an attempt to keep the front armor towards Fury.
When the young tank Lt is briefing Wardaddy and the other Sargeants about going on a "flank guard mission and working for Capt Waggoner" he points on the map and says "were going North then meeting up with Baker company and together we'll take the town " Then he points to the northernmost point on the map and drags his finger south, contradicting everything he just said.
When Norman first addresses Wardaddy, he addresses him as First Sergeant Collier. Wardaddy is a staff sergeant (E-6) according to the insignia (three chevrons and one rocker) on his sleeves. A first sergeant is the same pay grade as a master sergeant but ranked higher because of the additional responsibilities he has. A first sergeant's insignia is three chevrons and three rockers with a diamond in the center.
