Robert F. Simon and McLean Stevenson in M*A*S*H (1972)

Goofs

Officers Only

M*A*S*H

Edit

Continuity

When radar comes into henrys tent to tell him about the general arriving Henry stands on his bed with a cigar in his mouth but in the next scene it is in his hand.

Also the clothes on the line change. He puts his hand on an army green piece of clothing and there is one stocking to the left of him but in the next scene his hand is now on an open part of the line and there are two stockings now.

Anachronisms

As Hawkeye brings his "relatives" into the club, a Williams "Heat Wave" pinball machine can be seen to the left of the door. This machine was introduced in July of 1964.
When Radar awakens Colonel Blake, a copy of the book "Special Nurse can be seen in front of Blake. While the book was originally published in 1950, the particular cover shown is from the 4th edition published in 1960.
When Radar and Henry are in the office on the phone to the manager of the Imperial Hotel, there is a model of a Bell Huey helicopter hanging from the ceiling behind them. Hueys did not exist at the time of the Korean War.

Character error

The bartender shakes a drink, then pours it for Burns. However, he says it's a Shirley Temple. A Shirley Temple is grenadine mixed in ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda. Due to the carbonation of the ginger ale or soda, that drink would be stirred, not shaken.
When Trapper is looking at the chest X-rays of the son of General Mitchell, he holds the second one (the lateral thorax) upside down. This is a normal chest X-ray.
The credits incorrectly list Ralph Grosh as Capt.'s Aide instead of General's Aide.
The sign Radar nails above the door of the Officers Club reads, "Officers' Only". This is an incorrect use of the possessive apostrophe. It should simply read, "Officers Only".
Upon seeing Hawkeye and Trapper after they return from R&R, Col. Blake says, "Back from Tokyo, are we?" But it is daytime, and Hawkeye and Trapped returned to camp the evening before. It is common military practice to report to the commanding officer upon returning from leaving the base, so Col. Blake should have known about it the evening before.
