As a sub vet, “Crimson Tide” irritates me to no end! From the supply officer making that enlisted man do push ups on the bus, to that stupid dog that was allowed on board! Where are all those submariners running around to just because the boat is diving? That whole movie is devoid of any reality of submarine life.

Most of the NCOs I worked with were obsessed with ALWAYS asserting their authority with threats of counciling statements throughout the day. You never see that in any “realistic” military movies.

In top gun... Maverick gets into his f14.. then they show the wing and left portion of an at intruder. Or in Navy seals... Hotel at VA beach. They open the curtains and there are ships in the background... Uh... That's 20 miles away in Norfolk.

Haircuts and shaving. They usually always screw those up. I liked the movie “Crimson Tide”, but their depiction of submarine life and ops is so far off base that it’s comical..

Haircuts and uniform mistakes that would never ever be "corrected" immediately by your supervisor.

1. Fictitious ranks (Lt Commander, what the hell is that?).
2. Glamorization of officers.
3. No sense of military discipline or protocol.

At least 2 movies with big mistakes that annoy the piss out of me. Battle of the Bulge and The Big Red One both use American tanks as german panzer oh and the movie Patton where they literally used Patton tanks as german tanks. Those aside I love The Big Red One and Patton

Sadly few “enemy” tanks survived the war, let alone in running condition. The only running Tiger in the world was used in Fury and even it was on a platform to protect it. Yet, enough Sherman’s existed for Bridge Too Far to replicate General Horrock’s force (Michael Caine’s character).
Air is as bad. There wasn’t a flyable Zero at the time that Midway and Tora, Tora, Tora were filmed.
