Continuity: They took the flag from the PBR (which is removed from the roof of the boat the next time we see it) to cover Clean's body at burial.

Audio problem: On the French plantation dock Captain Willard walks over towards the Frenchman and they do an excellent job of overdubbing the sound of his helmet strap each time it hits his chest.

Factual error: The date on the top of Chef's letter from Eva says, "Sept" with the year conveniently whited out. If the letter was written in September of 1969 she couldn't have known about Manson who wasn't arrested until December 3, 1969. This also dates the movie as taking place sometime in 1970.

The helicopter that Chef and Miss May are in later in the scene is different as it has white tipped rotors. (Time) Submitted by ????
