    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When shooting the scene where Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett) manage to get off the ground during the attack, and are chased by three Japanese Zeroes, one of the real planes clipped a palm tree and crashed. The pilot was dazed, and suffered only a broken finger.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 20 mins) The Japanese are shown flipping a calendar from the 6th to the 7th of December on the morning of the attack. This is done for American audiences who are familiar with the date of the attack being 7 December 1941. Clocks aboard the Japanese ships were kept on Tokyo time, so for them the attack actually took place the morning of 8 December. The Japanese version of the film shows the calendar flipping from the 7th to the 8th.
    • Quotes
      • Admiral Yamamoto: I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.
    • Crazy credits
      Unusually, Pearl Harbor started without showing the opening Touchstone and Bruckheimer logos; they only showed up after the end credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The VHS & HDTV versions of the movie are presented in 16x9 pan and scan with the battle scenes presented in 1.85:1.
