McLean Stevenson and Todd Susman in M*A*S*H (1972)

Goofs

Operation Noselift

M*A*S*H

Edit

Continuity

The establishing shot zooms in on Henry's tent, yet in the very next shot he's in his office.

Revealing mistakes

It's quite apparent that the actor playing Private Baker (Todd Susman) was wearing a fake nose composed of putty and makeup as the skin tone of his nose doesn't match the rest of his face.

Miscellaneous

The entire story-line was premised on a soldier unable to find anyone to give him a nose job. Unless he had no access to mirrors before arriving in Korea, it was never explained why he didn't get his nose fixed before the war. But since they went to the trouble of securing a 3-day pass, wouldn't it have been simpler for him to just have the surgery performed at Tokyo General? It would have been a lot easier for him to blend in at a city hospital that also serves the public.

Anachronisms

Colonel Blake mentions that one week they showed the films The Thing from Another World (1951) and The Blob (1958). The latter was not released until five years after the Korean War ended.

Plot holes

When explaining Major Robbins' visit to the 4077 Hawkeye explains that it's social, leaving Majors Burns and Houlihan still wondering. Robbins was, as Hawkeye mentions , in Tokyo for burn therapy. Given that the 4077 would potentially see burn victims, his presence could simply be explained that he was there to lecture on burn care.
