Corrected entry: In the scene where she confronts the Senator, Demi has Captain bars on her shirt but she is a Lieutenant. (01:20:00 - 01:35:00)

Correction: In the Navy, a Lieutenant is 2 silver bars, an O-3. In other services, an O-3 is a Captain. A Navy Captain would wear a silver eagle, equivalent to a Colonel.

Corrected entry: When Jordan has a drink with her crew at the bar, before she goes into the ladies, she has a bandage around her right hand, and in the ladies she has the same bandage, but when she comes out, the bandage is gone.

Correction: If I was in a bar and wanted to take a bandage off, I'd go to the bathroom to do it too. The bandage doesn't reappear so there's no continuity error.

Phixius

Corrected entry: Demi Moore shaves her own head wearing only her uniform and t-shirt. Yet when she finishes shaving there's no sign of even a single hair on her. She also never brushed away any hair from her neck or shoulders. After a haircut like that it would be all over her.

Correction: The scene is not shown in real time, but a series of small shots. During these shots, you can make out lots of hairs that stick to her; however, she could also have taken the time in between cuts to brush some of it away. In the last shot, for instance, of her running her hands over her freshly shaven head, she has had time to even out the few remaining stripes seen in the shot before, and put away the shaving machine. It is not unlikely she brushed away as much hair as possible during the same cut.

Twotall

Corrected entry: When Jordan's boyfriend is at the party and he sticks his head into the room where a snooker game is going on you can see all of the balls are red, then the next shot of the table the balls are all different colour.

Correction: In snooker, there are 15 red balls and 7 colored. In the first shot, only the red and pink balls are immediately visible, but the other 6 colored balls are there.

Continuity mistake: During a training session, Jordan forms a human ladder with another trainee to get her team over an obstacle. The Master Chief is watching this scene through a night-vision scope on his rifle. His line of sight is initially level, then suddenly alters to show the view from a lower perspective.

Trivia: A G.I. historically refers to an enlisted member of the US Army (and Air Force during the 2nd World War). Lt. O'Neill is in the Navy, where the term doesn't apply. Additionally, she is an officer, so even if she was in the Army she STILL wouldn't be a G.I. Though to be fair, Lt. (Navy) Jane doesn't have exactly the same ring to it.
