I noticed an ARNG LTC not wearing his Unit Patch, Ribbons nor his name tag. Anyone else see mistakes like this in movies?

I watched this error tonight on the movie Hidden Figues about pioneer female African-Americans in the early days of the NASA Space Program. Did you see this LTC is wearing a white shirt under his Class A Uniform? Wouldn't he also be wearing a Green Leadership tab by his rank? It has been over a 15 years since I wore my Class A Uniform. Please enlighten me on what you think?

The Army has so much going on with their uniforms, it doesn't surprise me that a studio would get it wrong.

Nice film - not about the military - these errors are a minor distraction. Warmest, Sandy :)

Hollywood mistakes will drive you nuts.....Dont let it. Some of the worst are Investigation discovery....They will show the bad guy with a revolver shooting.....Next scene shows cops recovering 9 MM shell casings, NICE. lol

There is an urban legend that virtually all uniforms in the movies have one thing wrong with them so that the actors will comply with laws making it illegal to impersonate a member of the Armed Forces.

I believe any military service member picks apart uniforms and other things in military movies we watch. It’s instilled in us to pay attention to detail and when we are watching a movie it’s no different. Good luck if your a service member and you can watch a military movie without picking it apart!
