Corrected entry: In the scene when Grp. Captain Mandrake confronts General Ripper in the latter's office with the knowledge that there is no Russian attack, he salutes and then turns to leave but finds both exits locked. He then returns to Ripper's desk and asks for the doorkey and the recall code for the planes that are en route to Russia. He hadn't asked for the code before trying to leave, yet he was prepared to leave without it. (00:21:00)

Correction: Mandrake has just recognized that his superior officer has gone insane and launched a nuclear attack on another country that will lead to the destruction of the US and possibly all mankind. He can be forgiven for being a bit rattled.
