Audio problem: When Randall walks into Maggie's Hanger for the first time in the film, Maggie is singing. As she goes to greet Randall she hands her microphone to a backup singer to take over, who can be heard taking over the singing, but she doesn't use the microphone for a few seconds.
The Guardian (2006)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher, Sela Ward, Melissa Sagemiller
Character mistake: In the training room, after Randall is discussed as the record holder, the students are brought to attention. All but one is standing at attention, he is in the back on the right hand side, standing at ease.
Ben Randall: Class 5506, will you come find me if I am lost?
Cadets: Yes, Senior Chief.
Ben Randall: Will you come save me if I am drowning?
Cadets: Yes, Senior Chief.
Ben Randall: I believe you would.
Trivia: In the final scene when Jake goes back to pick up Emily at school (ala An Officer and a Gentleman), his short-sleeved dress shirt has no pockets, a strangely shaped collar and appears to be unbuttoned far too far. In the original script, Kutcher was wearing a "polo" style shirt and slacks, but the test audiences raised too many questions about his status: "Had he stayed in, gotten out, what?" that the director had a team CGI a nametag, collar devices, ribbons and proper colors to the clothes he was wearing. explaining the lack of pocket, odd collar and button issue. This is all verified on the dvd extras.
