 The white sword and ribbon used just before "without incident"  sequence was not attached. The intention was that it would be sewn  on and that Bale would rip it off at the appropriate moment, but  they couldnt get the stitching to work so that it would rip just  right. Finally, they decided to leave it unsown, and just have Bale  hold it with his hand for the few seconds he was on camera.
