Defending the riverbank, Jack's machine gun jams and he leaves it for a rifle.

Moments later he's back shooting the Browning.

Really poor editing.

Wearing his greens, Jack has two rows of ribbons but contrary to Marine regulations, no marksmanship badges.

The TWA airliner shown during the bond sales tour is a Convair 440 which did not fly until 1947.

Hairstyles in the movie are all from the 60s.

Establishing shot of Camp Pendelton shows a large 50-star flag, not in use until 1960.

Although the film takes place in 1942-1943, all of Marilyn Devin's hairstyles and clothing, as well as that of the other females in the cast, is strictly 1967.

Although the film takes place in 1942-1943, Camp Pendleton is flying the fifty star (post 1959) flag, not the forty-eight star design, which would have been correct.

The TWA airliner that is shown flying the men around the country is a Martin 404, which was not introduced into TWA's fleet until July 1951, six years after the war ended.

During the initial night-time battle against the attacking Japanese forces (8:49),one Japanese soldier is clearly seen firing a German made Maschinenpistole MP40.

No such weapons were in use with the Japanese Imperial Army during WW2.
