Corrected entry: In the final scene, as Polly lifts her camera for her final shot, there is no lens cap on the camera. Therefore Joe's hilarious line of "lens cap" is not needed, although it makes for an extremely funny ending.

Corrected entry: The logo for the Flying Legion is a winged lion with a banner reading "Ille Caelum Fremitus." This is not proper Latin, because "Caelum" (sky) is in the neuter gender, while the adjective "Fremitus" (roaring) is in the masculine gender. The adjective must agree with the gender of the noun to be grammatically correct, so the masculine "fremitus" must change to the neuter "fremitum." The proper banner should had read: "Illud Caelum Fremitum" (That Roaring Sky).
Correction: The Latin is correct, it is the assumption of the translation that is wrong. It is "Those who roar to the sky" - Ille (those) and fremitus (roaring) are both masculine and nominative and match correctly. Whoever heard of a roaring sky? It's the lions/planes/pilots that do the roaring, not the sky!

Correction: It's not a mistake for him to remind her about the lens cap whether he can tell if it's on or not. My whole family automatically does this to my mother all the time as she is notorious for leaving the cap on and/or forgetting to turn it on. He's just poking fun.
