Other: When Stryker is killed at the end, it shows him lying on his back. Then, it cuts to a shot that shows the name on the back of his uniform. Who turned him over?

Factual error: After being under bombardment for several days, don't you think it was polite of the Japanese to shave and put on clean uniforms for the invasion?

Factual error: During the scene where Stryker is fighting with Forrest Tucker, an officers staff car pulls up. The car appears to be a 1946 or later Dodge or Plymouth, which was not yet manufactured.

Factual error: There is a scene (with Sgt. Strykers face superimposed on the screen) depicting his squad (and others) undergoing training. The Marines in this scene are armed with the 30/06 1903 Springfield Bolt Action rifle. In subsequent scenes which are suppose to be during the same time period they are armed with the M-1 rifle. The training scenes are apparently stock footage taken either before or very early in the war.
