I wonder if there is a notice board somewhere where Doctors, Nurses and Patients, especially old patients, amuse themselves pointing out the mistakes made during filming hospital scenes?
Do you think they would make fun of English Doctors accents, their use of Latin, and criticize nurses uniforms because British nurses are still required to wear skirts in this modern day and age? What would they make of James Robinson Justice storming down the halls and wards of Guy's, in those 50's hospital drama/comedies that were so popular then?
How about that scalpel, did you see that! Never seen the like!. How could they have been so stupid! Don't they know AAR 14 Mk II scalpel was not introduced into service until a full 6 months after that scene was set!!! And those pillows...........
Or is there I wonder, a CSI web site that is swamped with vindictive over the mistakes, and oversimplifiation made by the poor television actors trying to portray the very complicated life and job of a CSI operative?
Easy lads and lasses, I know the criticism is mostly in fun, but every so often I get more than a hint of arrogance and pedantry, reveling in others mistakes no matter how well intended. If it's a documentary then shame on the maker for not getting it right, but if it's a film then it's only for our amusement, just for fun. The intent is for you to 'suspend your disbelief" just for the length of the film, OK?

Pearl Harbor Bf109/Buchon
In the sequence where Ben Assf*ck gets the wind knocked out of him, the Buchon is seen flying behind him, and you can easily hear the cannons and machine-guns firing - but there's no muzzle flash from the wings or the cowlings.
