Corrected entry: When Brannigan asks if he should call Swann "sir", the commander says that the title was handed down from some ancestor. However, a knighthood from the British Monarchy is not hereditary. It dies with the holder.
Brannigan (1975)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Douglas Hickox
Starring: John Wayne, Richard Attenborough, Mel Ferrer, Judy Geeson
Continuity mistake: When the cars go over Tower Bridge there is a skip and road works on the take off side but not on the landing side, but the Capri ends up in the skip revealing that the jaguar jump and the Capri jump were done on opposite sides of the bridge.
Cmdr. Charles Swann: This isn't Chicago.
Brannigan: You're right, you can't get a decent burger anywhere in this town.
Trivia: Production of this movie was not easy for John Wayne. The actor was suffering from heart problems and had only just recovered from a severe bout of pneumonia.

Correction: Swann states that it is a military courtesy title handed down from an ancestor. That opens the possibility of Swann inheriting a Baronet title, since they are addressed as 'Sir'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baronet http://www.churchill-society-london.org.uk/HnrSystm.html.
