Goofs:
Continuity: When the first trainees are jumping out of the helicopter into the water for the S.E.R.E. training course, the sun is shown just rising over the horizon. However, the shadow cast by the helicopter's tail (viewed from inside the helicopter) indicates that the sun is instantly much higher. more

RE: G.I. Jane, 26 February 2003

When this movie first came out, I was semi-interested in it, not enough to go and see it in the theatre, as this is not the kind of movie that I am usually a fan of. When it was aired on TV, I decided I would give it a try, and I have to say that for the most part, it was quite an enjoyable movie. The most appealing part of this movie, I have to say, was without a doubt, Viggo Mortensen. I have seen him in several movies, and he never fails to steal every scene he is in. He has a magnetic, enigmatic presence on screen. The fight scene between himself and Demi Moore, I have to say, was really well-done, and I do have to say, that although I am a HUGE fan of Viggo, he deserved that. Demi Moore was also pretty good in this movie. I am not really a fan of Demi, but I do have to say it is incredibley refreshing to see a movie with a woman who can prove that she is strong and capable, without resorting the typical cliched lines that the 'tough' women always use in most movies, which I find absolutely repulsive and nauseating.
