* HollywoodHistory: Ironic considering the film takes efforts to avoid it, but it makes a lot of mistakes that hew closer to the mythology than what actually happened in both big and small ways. Murray's role in the defeat (like his role in making the night march a fiasco and other questionable decisions) gets whitewashed, while everyone else gets gets more flak than they probably deserve. The average Jacobite commoner is shown to have a broadsword in line with the legend, when most of them actually had other melee weapons and that was limited to the officers... The Jacobite artillery is allegedly suffering from uneven equipment, when the pieces they deployed were almost universally standardized... And so on.

At the time the film was made, UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar was being broadcast nightly to British TV screens during the evening news, and Culloden seems to strongly suggests a continuity between the brutality of the British Army against the Jacobite rebels and the conduct of the US-led forces against the Vietnamese two hundred and twenty years later.
