Shooter (2007)

Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie where the bad guys have Donnie's widow, they are all in the mountains(an obviously cold place) yet they are not dressed appropriately nor is their breath visible.

Correction: How they dress is merely their decision, and your breath being visible has as much to do with humidity as it does with temperature.

Shooter (2007)

Corrected entry: The sniper continually switches shooting hands. During several scenes, Walberg shoots with his right hand (both helicopters, Barrett on Dinty Moore can, agents at boat launch). In other sniper shots, he shoots with his left hand (pistol [most], three guys on mountain-top, as well as dude with shotgun to girl's neck). He also does it with the knife (first guy into kidneys - right hand; second guy in neck from culvert -left hand).

Correction: Since the scenes take place at completely different times, there's no mistake here. It's probably intentional to show the level of the character's skill. Ambidextrous accuracy takes quite a lot of talent and/or practice.

Shooter (2007)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Wahlberg delivers his recon report to the secret service agents on the likely assassination locations, there is a huge flag hanging in the airplane hangar. It is behind him as he leaves after delivering his report. The flag is hung backwards - - would never happen in a real government location. American flags are always hung with the blue union section in the upper left to a viewer.

Correction: Wrong, wrong. An American flag on soldier's right shoulder is always on the top right, colors lead into battle, a hanging US Flag colors ALWAYS top left. The US Flag code does not have exceptions you're suggesting. Most likely, they reversed negative post-production, and didn't think about the flag's orientation.

Correction: The flag is hung so that the union is in a relative position to other things or directions, not so it is automatically to the left of the viewer. For instance, on a street that runs north and south the union must be to the east. So, if you're heading north the union would be to your right. It would only be to your left if you were traveling south. The flag isn't hung incorrectly in this scene, we're just seeing it from an unusual angle.
