Movie Nut

Private Finance - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: When Klinger imposes himself between Oksun Li and Crosetti, he puts his hands on his hips. When Crosetti gets up, Klinger gestures with his hands which then drop down on either side. A split-second later they're on his hips again.

Movie Nut

Aid Station - S3-E19

Factual error: Mulcahy asks Hawkeye if he trusts God. Hawkeye replies "It says I should on all of my money." However, the phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" didn't appear on American bills until 1957.

Movie Nut

Officer of the Day - S3-E3

Hawkeye: I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got into this war, I had a very clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns.
Frank: Humpf!
Hawkeye: I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune...I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, Carry Me Back to Old Virginny. I'll even Hari Kari if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!

Movie Nut

Edwina - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: In the Swamp, after Hawkeye steps on the glass, his hair alternates between neat and dishevelled.

Movie Nut

Lil - S7-E3

Trivia: In this episode, Hawkeye is trying to find out what "B.J." stands for. Despite all of his efforts, nothing works. This was based on Johnny Cash. Upon his birth, his mom wanted to name him 'John', and his dad preferred 'Ray'. When he enlisted in the Air Force, they wouldn't accept initials as a name, so he chose 'John R. Cash'.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In one episode, Frank's middle initial is M, then later it's D. His full name was Franklin Delano Marion Burns.

Movie Nut

Temporary Duty - S6-E21

Audio problem: As Roy and Loraine enter the camp, you hear a "YEE-HAW" from Roy, but if you watch his mouth, you see he really says "YAHOO."

Movie Nut

Too Many Cooks - S8-E1

Factual error: While eating, General Haggarty was told about how Conway should be a cook. Haggarty said "Change his (Conway's) MOS. MOS means Military Occupational Specialty, your job in service. Since M*A*S*H was set in the early 50's, Haggarty wouldn't have said that, because 'MOS' wasn't used until 1965.

Movie Nut

Preventative Medicine - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: In Potter's quarters Klinger's arm holding the chicken goes from in front of his chest to by his waist between shots.

Movie Nut

Der Tag - S4-E17

Factual error: As BJ gets into the jeep with Hawkeye, he holds up a container of Fig Newtons. Trouble is, during the time period, they would have been in a cardboard box, not the clear plastic tray.

Movie Nut

Show generally

Factual error: The Spot-A-Card pinball machine in the Officers' Club didn't come out until the 60's.

Movie Nut

Rainbow Bridge - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: As the first chopper lands on the pad, you can see that the pilot is Cowboy, a clear reuse of the shot from the episode "Cowboy"

Movie Nut

The General Flipped at Dawn - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: As the chopper lands on the pad, and the ambulance comes up, the pilot is as two different men when Hawkeye and Trapper approach and arrive at the chopper, meaning the landing was stock footage.

Movie Nut

As You Were - S2-E20

Trivia: When Radar was on the phone saying he was an officer, he answered "Uh, well, I'm, uh, nineteen." I know it was for the show, but when this episode aired in 1974, Gary Burghoff was 31 years old at the time.

Movie Nut

To Market, to Market - S1-E2

Trivia: When Hawkeye and Trapper approach and park in front of the restaurant, there is an M*A*S*H flag on a tall whip antennae. Unless I am mistaken, it's the only time such an antennae and flag set up appears on the Jeeps.

Movie Nut

The Birthday Girls - S10-E11

Other mistake: When the scene is of the cow in the barn, the background hilly area can be a painted backdrop.

Movie Nut

Major Ego - S7-E8

Trivia: As Tom takes Margaret between the stacks of equipment, the top crate closest to the camera on the right side of the screen has ICE CREAM CHURNS stenciled on it, and 'M.A.S.H. 8063 RD' in white. Possibly a mistaken delivery.

Movie Nut

Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 - S8-E5

Other mistake: As the camera cuts to Hawkeye and Margaret working, the man behind her is holding a chest X-ray, but it's upside down, which would be useless as a guide.

Movie Nut

Deal Me Out - S2-E13

Trivia: Assuming he was home when the Conscription Officers came for him, Klinger would have travelled 561.3 miles from his home in Toledo, Ohio, to Grand Central Station in New York, NY.

Movie Nut

Deal Me Out - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: From behind, Klinger's cigar is full length, with no signs of being lit. When he responds to Hawkeye's question, it is noticeably shorter.
