Corrected entry: Throughout the movie where there are shots of the pilot's hands they are not wearing gloves. In all the services gloves are required safety equipment for flight crew members.
Flight of the Intruder (1991)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: John Milius
Starring: Brad Johnson, Danny Glover, Rosanna Arquette, Willem Dafoe
Continuity mistake: During the catapult launch for the SAM suppression mission, we can see two Shrike missiles on the right wing pylons. In the next shot, there is only one. At this point they still haven't reached the SAM site so they wouldn't need to fire one. A little later in another shot (right before they switch to active radar) we see two Shrikes again.
Lt. Jake Grafton: I hear you've been selected early for Captain. They've going to give you your own boat, maybe even a carrier. And I wouldn't be surprised if you made Admiral.
Cdr. Camparelli: Have you ever seen a black man who's an Admiral?
Lt. Jake Grafton: Hey. Third-Generation Mafia, sir.
Cdr. Camparelli: That's right, Mr. Grafton.

Correction: Yes, flight gloves (only made of Egyptian cotton) are technically "required", but I spent 12 years of my life in Prowlers (electronic attack variant of the Intruder). I hardly ever wore gloves.
