Other mistake: Hawkeye reads the propaganda flyer, he says. "Give yourselves up, you can't win. Douglas MacArthur." Trouble is, the papers are all advertising for a flying company called Ace Eli.
The Trial of Henry Blake - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: As Klinger flies on his home made glider it's easy to tell that it's a bad composition shot. Also, nobody moving in the shot of him taking off stopped to notice him.
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, while Col. Potter is in the helicopter asking where they are, the pilot says they are about 10 miles west of Inchon. Col. Potter says this is no good and he tells the chopper pilot to "head west, towards Inchon." If they are already west of Inchon, heading west will take them further from Inchon.
Suggested correction: Potter tells the pilot to head to a different city, Chuksan (not sure of its spelling).
Continuity mistake: After Frank switches pearls, he gets out of the tent and the door and it closes. A moment later, he's crawling out the door again.
Other mistake: In this episode Max is wearing a red bandanna that he says "My mom gave me this when I shipped out. She said never take it off." However, in no episode before or after this does this good luck charm appear.
Other mistake: Hawkeye loosened the nut and locking ring, but after lifting the assembly, it was obvious that these were steps used only to heighten tension. There was no locking device of any kind between the tail and body of the bomb.
Revealing mistake: As Buzz is stopped at the tent door by Hawkeye and Trapper, the vertical edge of the "sky" is seen over the top of the hospital building, behind the camo net.
Continuity mistake: After BJ and Hawkeye taste Klinger's plateful of Spam Parmesan they all sit down at the table, and when BJ pulls the plate away from Hawkeye it cuts to another angle and the knife has jumped to the other side of the plate, and the fickle cup keeps sidling across the table to be beside the bowl depending on the angle.
Visible crew/equipment: When Trapper and Hawkeye are in the Swamp they start arguing, and just as Hawkeye grabs the mandolin the edge of the Swamp set can be seen at the top, left corner of the screen.
Continuity mistake: When Father Mulcahy's finishing up his Sunday service with only Klinger, who's wearing a fetching red hat, there are nine stacked books at the corner of the table, but when it cuts to Mulcahy's closeup there are now only six stacked books (which will soon be used for the 11:00 Protestant service when Trapper and Hawkeye will pray for booze).
Visible crew/equipment: As Kelley gets up to allow Sidney to sit, the tip of the boom mic bobs in the top of the frame.
Continuity mistake: Frank hits the pole supporting the center of the tent, which lets the tent collapse. However, in later episodes, the tents, especially hers, has a sturdy wood frame and doesn't need a center pole.
Continuity mistake: When the two soldiers get into a brawl in Post-Op, it's daytime. When Potter talks to Mulcahy, it's night. Then Klinger tells Mulcahy he's needed to break up the fight, it's daytime again.
Suggested correction: In scene 1, set in the day, the Greek soldier is wearing a dark blue jacket and a light blue shirt. In scene 2, set at night, Father Mulcahy is wearing a black shirt and a brown robe, and resting before bed. In scene 3, set during the day, Father Mulcahy is wearing a black shirt, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap. He is punching a speed bag. Klinger says there has been another fight between the Greek and the Turk. The Greek is not wearing a jacket. Scene 3 is from a different day than Scene 1.
Visible crew/equipment: As Margaret gets into the chopper, the lighting rigs, camera and crew are reflected in the canopy.
Continuity mistake: In the Commander's office, Frank's arms go from being in front of MacArthur's picture frame, to gone, and back again in a matter of a few seconds.
Other mistake: In the opening, when the flags were raised, the United Nations flag is hung upside down.
Continuity mistake: Private Rich's left boot is totally black when he's put on the chopper. When it goes up, it's worn to the bare leather, and back to new looking during the landing.
Audio problem: As Hawkeye and Trapper get into the chopper, you hear the engine powering up, and the blades slicing the air, but the blades aren't moving at all.
Continuity mistake: When Henry is put on the table, he rolls onto his back while requesting gas. After a cut to Hawkeye, he's on his stomach.
