Revealing mistake: When Foley is in his karate suit in the blip hanger he is choking Daniels, but his hands are very loose around his neck.
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Taylor Hackford
Starring: Richard Gere, Robert Loggia, Debra Winger, David Keith
Continuity mistake: When Debra Winger is at the payphone at work, her hair is very flat with bangs. After she can't reach Zach, runs out of work, and is talking to her mother, her hair is very full and curly.
Foley: You can forget it! You're out.
Mayo: Don't you do it! Don't! You... I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else.
Trivia: John Travolta was offered the part of Mayo first but turned it down to get his pilot's license. This is not the first part Travolta gave up and Richard Gere later got: he also gave up the lead in "American Gigolo" (1974). Also, Gere was originally supposed to play Danny in "Grease" (1978).
