10 More Insanely Accurate War Movie Details
9. Killroy Was Here - Greyhound
Recognised by many as one of the world's very first memes, a little piece of graffiti found itself popping up all over the world back during the time of World War II.
The words "Killroy Was Here" were usually found alongside a doodle of a little bald dude with a large nose popping over a wall and his fingers hanging onto it. And this distinct artwork was often drawn onto the walls of the places various members of the United States military were stationed.
And sure enough, during the Tom Hanks-starring 2020 war film about the WWII Battle of the Atlantic, Greyhound, Killroy was seen very much being there at one point.
Look closely at the radar on one of the ships as Hanks' Commander Ernie Krause prepares to engage some enemies at night and you'll be able to clock little ol' Killroy keeping an eye on the surrounding military personnel.
It's an easily missed detail, but one that turns a hugely tense sequence into one that feels slightly more authentic once you catch one sneaky WWII serviceman's highly accurate little scribble.
