* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The 2004 film has one moment on the dusk before the final battle where Davy Crockett plays his fiddle in accompaniment to the Mexican Army's "Deguello", resulting in a song that actually stuns the Mexican Army.

* AmericansHateTingle: A really bizarre example of this, despite the [[UsefulNotes/MexicanAmericanWar topic of the film]]. While there was a lot of controversy (both in Mexico and the U.S., with the obvious exception of Texas) about the 2004 version, since the whole topic about the war is considered taboo in both countries, the 2004 version took many pains on depicting the Mexicans in more positive light, in an attempt to avoid the movie being banned there.[[note]]Oddly enough, the John Wayne version was never banned there, despite showing the conflict solely from the Texan perspective.[[/note]] It also helps a lot the fact that, previous to the 2004 version, Davy Crockett was normally considered in Mexico as a ''fictitious'' character created by Disney from previous films depicting him and not a real life man who died in The Alamo, to the grade many Mexican history books tends to downplay his role in that historical battle and pinning almost all the blame on Samuel Houston and the rest of his men, maybe because [[RealityIsUnrealistic no one is going to believe he really existed]]. The fact Santa Anna is considered as one of the most hated presidents Mexico had due of his role in the war helps too.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Narm}}: To non-Americans, the trailer declaring the Battle of the Alamo to be one of the world's biggest battles involving one of the greatest armies ever assembled, when in reality it was less then two-thousand Mexican soldiers against less then two hundred Texian militia.

* BrokenBase: Creator/RogerEbert liked it, but other critics were not so kind. One particularly obnoxious review lambasted the film for ''not'' subjecting the defenders to HistoricalHeroUpgrade and trying to be historically accurate.
