Midnight Express goofs

• CREW: Boom operator visible chasing[?] as he climbs a path by the prison wall.
• CREW: When Susan goes to visit Bill, it’s possible to see a crew member reflected in the glass.
• FACT: SPOILER: The plate on the police truck carrying Billy to prison after he’s caught trying to escape has four errors. First, the blank between the alpha characters and the numeric characters that follow is missing. Second, in the year 1970 when the movie is set, plates in Istanbul had not yet reached YY (they advance chronologically from AA to ZZ). Third, plates in Istanbul are framed with a thick line of a color same as the letters — the plate in the movie has no frame. Four, most seriously, police vehicle plates have white characters on a black background — in the movie, the plate is just the opposite.
• DATE: The movie is set in 1970. When Billy Hayes makes a visit to the toilet at the airport to wash his face, there is a poster on the wall showing a shot of the Bosphorus Bridge which was built in 1973.
• DATE: The “fez” hat worn by several Turkish men in the movie has been extremely rare in Turkey since 1925 when it was abolish by Kemal Ataturk (the leader and founder of the Republic of Turkey) in an attempt to “westernize” the country. This was one of the reform actions of those times.

Midnight Express quotes

• Jimmy: The second way out, I need you guy’s help, and that’s under.
  Billy Hayes: You mean tunnel? Are you serious?
  Max: This is Shagmahr prison, not Stalag 17.
  Jimmy: Well that’s where you’re wrong fuckface, ’cause it’s already built!
• [to the Turkish court]
  Billy Hayes: I just wish for once that you could be in my shoes, Mr. Prosecutor, and then you would know something that you don’t know: mercy! That the concept of a society is based on the quality of that mercy; its sense of fair play; its sense of justice! But I guess that’s like asking a bear to shit in the toilet.
• Max: The best thing to do is to get your ass out of here. Best way that you can.
  Billy Hayes: Yeah, but how?
  Max: Catch the midnight express.
  Billy Hayes: But what’s that?
  Max: [laughs] Well it’s not a train. It’s a prison word for… escape. But it doesn’t stop around here.
• Ahmet: Where are you going? Why don’t you walk the wheel with us? What is the matter my American friend? What has upset you? Oh! I know. The bad machine doesn’t know that he’s a bad machine. You still don’t believe it. You still don’t believe you’re a bad machine? To know yourself is to know God, my friend. The factory knows, that’s why they put you here. You’ll see… You’ll find out… In time, you’ll know.
• Billy Hayes: Dear Susan: Poor Jimmy was caught and beaten so badly he got a severe hernia, and lost a testicle. He’s been in the sanitarium for months. In comparison, my problems seem very small.
