• Movie Goof (anachronisms): In the scene where the President and the Doctor travel to Entebbe airport in the soft-top Mercedes and are ambushed - two white Bedford trucks block them to the front and the rear. The trucks are AWD Bedford's with a silver AWD logo mounted on the front. AWD took over Bedford trucks only in 1989 some 10-years after Amin was removed from Uganda (in 1979)
• Movie Goof (factual errors): According to the closing sequences, only one hostage was killed during the rescue operation at Entebbe Airport. Actually, three of the hostages were killed during the raid - Jean-Jacques Maimoni, Pasko Cohen and Ida Borochovitch. Fourth hostage, Dora Bloch, was later killed by Ugandan army officers at the Mulago Hospital in Kampala.
• On the DVD director's commentary, Kevin Macdonald states that during filming of Idi Amin's visit to the village near the mission, many of the local extras thought it was the real Idi Amin on stage giving speeches.
• Movie Goof (anachronisms): In some of the street scenes in Kampala there are large glass fronted office buildings visible in the background. These were not there in the 1970s when the film was set.
