Continuity: Just before Demi Moore is about to get her head shaved she sees the base commander about equal treatment, and we notice very visibly that O'Neil has one side of her face bruised and all red and swollen. But in the next scene, which takes place moments later, when O'Neil is shaving her head, her injuries are all gone. Where did they all go to?

Factual error: In the scene where Jordan arrives at the training base, she is riding in a canvas-topped humvee. The doors consist of a light wire frame covered by a vinyl canvas, and must be hooked shut with a plastic handle. You can see that she fails to secure the door, and it flops open behind her. Yet there is the sound effect of a full-size metal automobile door slamming shut.

Revealing: Towards the end of the film, a Cobra helicopter is flying in to assist with the extraction of the Navy Seals. There is a three-quarter frontal shot of the helicopter, one bank of rocket tubes can be seen to be empty; a few moments later, it's firing rockets from banks on both sides.

Other: During a training session, Jordan forms a human ladder with another trainee to get her team over an obstacle. The Master Chief is watching this scene through a night-vision scope on his rifle. His line of sight is initially level, then suddenly alters to show the view from a lower perspective.

Factual error: In the scene where Senator DeHaven is leaving the senate hearing that opens the movie, her limo pulls out of a stone archway and onto Constitution Ave. The building in front of the limo is the American History Museum, which makes the stone archway part of the Environmental Protection Agency building. A senate hearing on the Navy's policy toward women would not be held at the EPA. Furthermore, the limo turns left, not right, and therefore away from the direction of the capitol.
