- Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The helicopter pilot reported that Burns fired at his tail rotor (to allow him to land safely). However, without actually seeing the trajectory of the bullet, angle of the rifle, or the impact (it missed), the pilot had absolutely no way of knowing Burns' intentions.
- Not only does Kirk Douglas consider this his favorite picture, but his son Michael Douglas considers it his father's best work, too.

- Movie Goof (factual errors): A common Hollywood mistake when radios are used is to end the transmission with the phrase "Over and out". "Over" is used when turning the channel to the other speaker and "Out" is used when the transmission is finished, but one wouldn't say "Over and out". In this movie, radio use is inconsistent. Sometimes "Over and out" is used incorrectly, sometimes "Out" is used correctly and sometimes speakers switch back and forth without indicating anything at all.
