Charli Wilson's War

Though the movie was inspiring...but as always...I tried to be smart and bring out some mistakes which no one in the cast was aware of>>>>>

Miscellaneous:

The Texas flag in Charlie Wilson's office is upside down on the pole.

The white horizontal bar should be on top and over the red bar.

Revealing mistakes:

In the montage detailing the Mujahideen's successes in the mid-1980s shooting down Russian planes and helicopters, four of the aircraft shown are American-made and would never have been used by the Soviet military -- an A-6 Intruder, an F-4 Phantom, a UH-1 Huey helicopter, and an F-16.

Continuity:

After Gust removes the bug from the bottle of scotch, the position of the label sealing the bottle changes between shots.

Anachronisms:

In some scenes showing Hinds on the ground, there are various Mi-35s shown. These aircraft are very modern derivatives of the infamous Mi-24 Hind-D. These aircraft are distinguished by their distinctive engine casings.

Revealing mistakes:

During the first scene involving two Russian helicopters en route to attack, you can see daylight through the rocket pods. They are empty.

Continuity:

When Charlie is in his office meeting with Gust, the epaulet on his right shoulder is unbuttoned during several shots. Later it is buttoned.

Anachronisms:

Crystal Lee mentions the TV show "Falcon Crest," which premiered in 1981, in 1980.
Anachronisms:

The presentation in the airplane hangar before the Clandestine Service has a series of flags from the intelligence community in the background. One of the flags bears the distinctive seal of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) which was reorganized on 23 Nov 2003 (USC 108-136); prior to this it was the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) with a completely different standard.
Continuity:

In one of the opening scenes where Charlie is receiving the award, Joanne Herring is shown clapping in close up, wearing black gloves. In the subsequent wide shots showing the entire audience, she is gloveless.

Continuity:

In the first scene where Gust appears he is fighting with his boss (Slattery) about who owes whom an apology. The window that Gust had previously broken has just been replaced. As the fight continues and he's ordered out of the office, Gust breaks the window again, leaving shards of glass still in the frame. The shot quickly goes to Slattery, then back to Gust walking away and the window is intact again - no shatter, no shards.
Anachronisms:

Returning from Charlie's first trip to Afghanistan, aircraft shot of Pan Am 747 is 747-400 model (with wing-lets) this type was not introduced until 1989.
