Revealing mistake: When Captain Binghamton is giving his pre-invasion speech, the camera pans back and past a machine gun. The cartridges in the belt are just casings with no bullets in them.
McHale's Navy (1997)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Bryan Spicer
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Bruce Campbell, Tom Arnold, Dean Stockwell, David Alan Grier, Debra Messing
Continuity mistake: In the scene where McHale rides his motorcycle out of the boat, the machine gun on the aft deck is off center (so he can drive past it). The rest of the time it's on the centerline of the boat.
Lt. Penelope Carpenter: You know about the Navy's rules against fraternization among officers.
Lt. Cmdr. Quinton McHale: Well, I guess I'm retired again.
Trivia: The admiral whose codename is Cobra (Ernest Borgnine) played the original McHale on T.V. in 1962 and in the first movie in 1964.
