Visible crew/equipment: Above Helen's head the first time Ben telephones her a boom mike is visible.
The Guardian (2006)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher, Sela Ward, Melissa Sagemiller
Factual error: When the new candidates report in to Rescue Swimmer School, one of the airmen is wearing the Silver Star ribbon. The person is too young to have served in another service, and there are no other service's ribbons worn - and the Coast Guard hasn't issued a Silver Star since Vietnam.

Suggested correction: Nobody is wearing medals except for the captain and Randall in the entire scene.
Danny Doran: Can you die from chlorine poisoning?
Billy Hodge: I can't feel my legs. I'm serious.
Jake Fischer: I don't know about you guys, but I feel good.
Ken Weatherly: This Randall guy, he's operating on some whole other cylinder. What is it, two weeks, and he's failed half the class already?
Ken Weatherly: He's a legend. They say he's got something like 200 saves.
Danny Doran: I heard it was 300.
Jake Fischer: Who cares what his number is? If he's such a stud, what's he doing here?
Trivia: In the final scene when Jake goes back to pick up Emily at school (ala An Officer and a Gentleman), his short-sleeved dress shirt has no pockets, a strangely shaped collar and appears to be unbuttoned far too far. In the original script, Kutcher was wearing a "polo" style shirt and slacks, but the test audiences raised too many questions about his status: "Had he stayed in, gotten out, what?" that the director had a team CGI a nametag, collar devices, ribbons and proper colors to the clothes he was wearing. explaining the lack of pocket, odd collar and button issue. This is all verified on the dvd extras.
