No particular movie because it happens so often. Stock video of jet taking off but when scene changes to inside of aircraft the sound effects are from a propeller aircraft.

In Hunt For Red October, an F-14 Tomcat is coming in to land and then while crashing, turns into a Banshee.

laugh all you want but Gomer Pyle was very accurate on the uniform and he wore it well.

Yeah, but calling the Gunnery Sergeant "Sarge" always pissed me off. Never could happen, EVER!

Soldier characters using 60s slang instead of 40, slang. Removing grenade pins with their mouths, and able to pinpoint targets with a .45, and never missing the target.

I cringe whenever I watch a WWll war movie, where the characters use 1960 slang instead of the 40s slang. Another sight that makes me cringe is the sight of a modern Rail Road engine, like the modern Amtrak ones, instead of a steam one.

How about the scene in the movie Waterworld where the smokers have a quad 50 but they keep firing. They're not shooting it and in short bursts or shooting continuously. Won't that cause the barrels to overheat and explode?

Okay, the German Soldier has a Thompson submachine gun I see that. How about the Battle of Midway where you see different scenes from different movies we're supposed to be a Japanese plane but it's actually an American plane. you can also tell they were borrowing scenes from Tora Tora Tora!.

You're thinking of this poor guy. Survives Pearl Harbor (Tora Tora Tora) then gets sent to some island and gets attacked there too (Midway). Shameless editing from Hollywood. Oh well. At least they got the machine gun correct...

PO3 Donald Murphy - yes that was one of many scenes. I also saw many of the same two scenes in the Black Sheep Squadron TV show that was a TV show not a movie so I'm more forgiving for low budget since it was cool if they had those corsairs that were actually part of the Honduran Air Force and used for the show Once they were sold the Americans. Elise Black Sheep Squadron with semi original and you have most Aviation scenes that were from the TV show

OK, I'm going to date myself here, but in the TV series Rat Patrol, the US Soldiers are armed with Spanish sub-machine guns disguised as Thompson .45s fighting the Germans in North Africa that are equipped with US Self-propelled howitzers disguised as Panzers. I loved the series as a kid though.

And what was up with Christopher George and the Aussie headgear. Jeeps armies with .50's racing around the desert looking to engage Panzers, amazing!

I always thought those jeeps were so cool as a kid. Then I had to drive them in Germany and Nam. You drive one of those across a rice paddy like they did you would be upside down by the second dike. But they did look cool, coming off a sand dune and flying 50 foot before coming down. O'yea, the gunner never stopped firing the whole time.

You know, in the credits, there is always a military advisor. Fire that dude! He must have been drunk and never really participated in the military because they usually have tons of errors in the movies. Perhaps deliberate, but always annoying. Wrong ribbon/medal order, wrong customs and courtesies, uniforms ate up ... I could use the money and won't make your movie look bad, hire me please!
