Factual error: The captain's rank insignia ("train tracks") sewn onto the right collar tip of the battle dress uniform of Gandolfini's aide is sewn on incorrectly. The train tracks should be angled on a diagonal where the upper part is oriented toward the neck and lower part toward the tip of the collar. The aide's rank is angled on a diagonal in the opposite direction. This is not a minor mistake - any vet would notice this at a glance.
The Last Castle (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Rod Lurie
Starring: Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo, James Gandolfini, Steve Burton
Eugene Irwin is shot by Col. Winter at the end of the four stage rebellion. The flag is raised by Irwin as he is about to die. Doc calls for an ambulance as Irwin dies. The flag, instead of being flown upside down for the international sign of distress, is flown right-side up. The wall is later rebuilt with a stone dedicated to Corporal Aguilar, and Eugene Irwin.

Eugene Irwin: Now let me get this straight. You mean there is violence here?
Doc: Yes sir.
Eugene Irwin: In a prison packed with violent criminals? Hmm.
