Goofs

(at around 36 mins), Skeet Burns opens the right rear door of his car for Nurse Dale. There is a cut in the film, and Nurse Dale is climbing into the front seat of the car through the suddenly-open front door.

Not even in 1926 would a raw recruit be issued a rifle on his first day in boot camp. Nor would he be told that he is now a Marine by any stretch of the imagination.

The general leaves his bag in the rest room of the train when he leaves it in San Diego. He may need it later.

Actually the porter is shown carrying the general's bag out of the restroom ahead of the general. Skeet was not ready yet, so he had to carry his own bag. The general's bag is then shown being handed back to him as he gets off the train, along with most of the passengers, other than Skeet.

William Haines was a rather hairy man; his arms and hands are clearly hairy in multiple scenes despite his hairless chest. (Point of fact, he waxed his chest to look far more youthful in the film.)

When bombs start to drop near the bridge, several 'dead' bandits flinch. One of them even lifts his head up before going back to playing dead.

When Skeet is parking the rental car in front of the nurses' house, smoke can be seen coming from the left side, likely due to a crew member smoking.

In the final sequence, when Sergeant O'Hara (Lon Chaney) is drilling the new recruits, the top buttons of his uniform are undone. This would be unpardonable by Marine standards, particularly in the case of this hard-nosed veteran.

Skeet doesn't have his sea bag on his way to the ship. He is going to need at least a change of skivvies.
