Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War 2026. Incorrect procedure.

So i have watched the brand new film and it’s a great film, but i noticed a very niche mistake in a particular scene. The scene depicts a casket being loaded on to an MC-130J by US Air Force personnel, but what they have failed to do is follow correct loading procedures by loading the casket with human remains feet first when it should in fact be head first. Working in Air Transportation within the Air Force, and actually having to do this particular movement myself it is something i instantly spotted but to the average viewer it’s something you just wouldn’t notice, this is my first ever movie mistake i have noticed and I’m strangely proud of my self!😂. Here’s some snippets from official regulations:

AFI34-1201, Chapter 2, Para 2.10.13 states: On a closed casket, the flag will be placed lengthwise, with the union at the head and over the left shoulder of the deceased (Figure 2.13.)

DAFI24-605v2, Section 3e, Para 3.34.5 states: Transfer cases containing remains will be stowed on the aircraft/pallet in a level position. (T-1) The feet will never be higher than the head while in the stowed position and the
head will always be stowed toward the nose of the aircraft. (T-1) This procedure assures
aircraft acceleration forces are borne by the feet, thereby avoiding trauma to the head.

Update on the "Narrative Physics" debate: Bulut just tried to mathematically measure Tarantino vs. Carver, and the results are wild.

Been following the discussions here about Levent Bulut's Objective Projection theory, especially the recent criticism that his formulas (like Narrative Entropy) are just subjective metaphors dressed up as math. Looks like he actually took that critique to heart.

He just published an "open notebook" with pilot data where he did a hard, deterministic count of the variables in the opening diner scene of Reservoir Dogs and the opening block of Carver's Cathedral.

The funny thing is, the data totally backfired against the usual assumptions. Carver's "minimalist" scene actually scored way higher on the entropy (cognitive load) scale than Tarantino's 8-person dialogue chaos. Bulut openly admitted the data contradicted his own intuition, published the raw numbers anyway, and refused to alter the formula to fit the expectation. He’s now actively looking for independent raters to double-check his counting protocol to test for inter-rater reliability.

Honestly, it’s refreshing to see someone in literary theory let the data speak even when it challenges the original hypothesis. Makes you think—does a dense internal monologue actually require more mental processing than a fast-paced multi-character dialogue scene?
If anyone wants to check his math or volunteer to score the scenes, the raw data is on his site:

In “Michael”, Michael Jackson gives a kid at a toy store advice for the Atari game Adventure, but his advice doesn’t relate to the game at all.

He mentions something about flicking the left trigger to power up or something, which is definitely *not* a thing in Adventure.
