Audio problem: Topper is driving in to the base beside the running troops on his bike. When they recite the Brady Bunch part, none of the soldiers' mouths are moving.
Suggested correction: That's simply not true. While some weren't moving their months, you can see many moving their mouths, including the drill instructor.
Continuity mistake: When Adm. Tug Benson is talking to the troops, they're all acting out certain activities. It shows one man with a football, then cuts to Adm. Benson talking. When it cuts back to the men, the one who had the football is in the same position he was in earlier (as if he was throwing it), but no longer has the ball in his hand. (00:20:45)
Suggested correction: The whole thing was a joke. It's not just Wash Out with the missing football. Kent's flowing white scarf is gone, the guy in front of Kent has his flight suit instantly zipped up, and one of the guys in the back doesn't have his jacket.
Continuity mistake: When Adm. Benson takes a drink of pudding out of his coffee cup, the pudding is all over his mouth. They show the other guy in the room and then go right back to Adm. Benson, and the pudding on his face is gone. (00:48:50)
Suggested correction: They show Commander Block long enough for Benson to wipe/lick the pudding off his face, especially in a farcical movie like this.
Other mistake: When Topper speaks to Ramada for the first time, we can see his name plate read "LT Sean Harley", whereas LT stands for Lieutenant, any army's lowest officer rank. The rank insignia on his collar, though, is that of a Captain (CPT). (00:19:19 - 00:20:09)
Suggested correction: Topper's not in the army, he's in the navy. He has the correct insignia for a naval lieutenant.
