William Christopher and Harry Morgan in M*A*S*H (1972)

Goofs

A Holy Mess

M*A*S*H

Edit

Continuity

When Hawkeye and B.J. are announcing the plans to have breakfast outdoors, Charles and Margaret are seen walking up behind the crowd twice.

Factual errors

Maj. Winchester says that he outranks the cook, SSgt. Pernelli, by five promotions. But with a battlefield promotion to second lieutenant, Pernelli would need only four promotions to reach major (2LT, 1LT, captain, major).

Miscellaneous

When Pvt. Gillis is pointing his rifle at Father Mulcahy, there is no smoking billowing from the muzzle. A rifle discharged only seconds earlier -- as Gillis's had during their struggle -- would be emitting smoke.

Boom mic visible

When the eggs arrive and the personnel are in the kitchen shouting out their egg orders to the cook, the boom mic can be seen hovering over the cooler.

Character error

In the opening scene, after Potter states that there will be eggs the following day for all the G.I.s in the area, one of the patients asks, "Does that include us?" On the right of the screen, another wounded soldier with red hair is smiling. In the next scene, when the doctors are first talking to Nick Gillis, the wounded soldier with red hair appears on the far left.
The way Father Mulchaey pulls the gun away could have caused an accidental firing as Gillis had his finger on the trigger ,
