** Many of the commune's inhabitants are portrayed as white people. In RealLife, the majority of Peoples Temple followers were of color.

** The reverend's portrayal as a preacher against the corruption of society leans towards showing him as a {{Jerkass}} since the beginning. In RealLife, while Jim Jones was already a very controversial person before moving to Jonestown, he was known for using his charisma and sense of assurance to win over his followers, and only showed publicly his troublesome attitude after moving to Guyana. Relatedly, other than a few dialogue lines, the movie surprisingly underplays Johnson's socialist motivations regarding his church as well as its multiracial embrace, despite the real-life Jim Jones having those two concepts as the driving forces for his religious movement.
** After O'Brien dodges a knife attack from a Temple follower and leaves alongside the defectors who side with him, Johnson says in front of the remaining people that O'Brien's plane must be brought down (an euphemism referring to his eventual murder). In RealLife, nobody at Jonestown outside Jones and his inner circle even knew what happened in Port Kaituma until Jones himself informed everybody about Leo Ryan's death during the evening when the murder-suicide took place.
** Susan Ames (the fictionalized version of Sharon Agnes) is shown being murdered alongside her children. In RealLife, following the orders of Jim Jones, Sharon killed her youngest children and then asked the eldest one to kill her and then commit suicide.

** While Henk really was the one that suggested ''Tetris'' to be bundled with the Game Boy, in reality it was already out in Japan without any bundled games at the time Henk went to Russia to negotiate the handheld rights.
** Belikov's BatmanGambit in reality only involved him roasting [[CorruptBureaucrat Robert Stein]] over not paying his due royalties and imposing increased rates and penalties (which he was actually prepared to lower if Stein complained) in order to prevent him from [[ReadTheFinePrint reading the fine print]]. The ''Tetris'' arcade rights were not actually involved the negotiations.
** While Henk Rogers, Robert Stein and Kevin Maxwell really were in Russia at the same time for the ''Tetris'' rights, they never became aware of each other's presence while they were there. [[spoiler:Henk Rogers and Robert Stein]] never actually met as Belikov was in fact ''very careful'' in keeping all parties separate and arranging his meetings with them in such a way so that they '''wouldn't''' accidentally bump into each other. The ChanceMeetingBetweenAntagonists was just added to the movie to create tension.
** The ending car chase was invented purely to give the film an exciting climax. However, the idea didn't come out of nowhere: while it's true that Robert Maxwell attempted to sic the KGB on Henk and co. in retaliation for obtaining the rights to ''Tetris'', in reality the KGB told him that there was nothing they could do since their hands were tied trying to deal with their collapsing government and to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm just give up.]]
** Henk was not blackmailed to abandon his pursuit for the rights to ''Tetris'', nor did he miss his daughter's recital to secure the rights.
** The Russian government never threatened Henk's wife.
** Apparently, Robert Maxwell wasn't as bad in real life as the film made him out to be. In real life, he was ''even worse''. In fact, while the [[WhiteCollarCrime fraudulent contract]] he offered Nintendo didn't actually happen, Robert Maxwell ''built his empire with these sort of deals''.
** Valentin Trifonov is an original character made specifically for the film, based on all of corrupt officials in the USSR's ranks.

Alexandria's real-life schools had been integrated in 1959. What ''actually'' happened in 1971 was that Alexandria's school division[[note]]In Virginia, unlike virtually everywhere else in the U.S., public schools are operated by branches of local governments. "School division" is the proper term for the operator of a Virginia public school.[[/note]] partially merged its three high schools. The three previous schools would serve only freshmen and sophomores, while T.C. Williams opened as a single school for all of the city's juniors and seniors.
** The film showed T.C. as winning multiple close games before finishing unbeaten. The real team was indeed unbeaten (13–0), but most of their wins were blowouts, with 9 being shutouts.
** In the movie, T.C.'s coach says "We are not like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. They don't have to worry about race. We do." In reality, every single school T.C. faced had been integrated for several years.
** The climax of the film is a Virginia state championship game between T.C. and George C. Marshall High of nearby Falls Church, which T.C. won on a fourth-down come-from-behind play at the very end of the game. The T.C.–Marshall matchup did happen in real life, with the same finish, but it was a midseason game. T.C.'s real state championship game was a 27–0 blowout of Andrew Lewis High[[note]]which has since become a middle school[[/note]] of Salem.
** The film depicts T.C.'s star linebacker Gerry Bertier as having suffered a paralyzing injury in a car crash in the days before the state title game. The real Bertier ''was'' paralyzed in a 1971 car crash, but it took place after a post-championship banquet honoring the team.
** Sheryl Yoast, daughter of T.C. head coach Bill Yoast, was depicted as an only child. She was really the third of Bill's four daughters. Also, the real Sheryl was 9 years old in 1971, too young to have been played by Creator/HaydenPanettiere.
** T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, whose 1971 football team is the main subject, was depicted as a school that been racially integrated that very year. Alexandria's real-life schools had been integrated in 1959. What ''actually'' happened in 1971 was that Alexandria's school division[[note]]In Virginia, unlike virtually everywhere else in the U.S., public schools are operated by branches of local governments. "School division" is the proper term for the operator of a Virginia public school.[[/note]] partially merged its three high schools. The three previous schools would serve only freshmen and sophomores, while T.C. Williams opened as a single school for all of the city's juniors and seniors.
** The film showed T.C. as winning multiple close games before finishing unbeaten. The real team was indeed unbeaten (13–0), but most of their wins were blowouts, with 9 being shutouts.
** In the movie, T.C.'s coach says "We are not like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. They don't have to worry about race. We do." In reality, every single school T.C. faced had been integrated for several years.
** The climax of the film is a Virginia state championship game between T.C. and George C. Marshall High of nearby Falls Church, which T.C. won on a fourth-down come-from-behind play at the very end of the game. The T.C.–Marshall matchup did happen in real life, with the same finish, but it was a midseason game.

** Solly didn't meet Stalin's son until later when he had been established in the German Army. He translated during his interrogation. In fact, his job was not only as a regular soldier there, but a translator as he'd learned fluent Russian from his time in the Komsomol orphanage. After the war, he worked briefly as a translator for the Soviets too.

* For [[ConspiracyTheorist the standards]] of [[Creator/OliverStone its director]], the reconstruction of the first phases of UsefulNotes/TheSalvadoranCivilWar in ''Film/{{Salvador}}'' is remarkably accurate and the film has been even praised by the US Ambassador in the country at the time for having captured well the chaotic situation. However, it still takes some liberties. In particular, its depiction of the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero is quite inaccurate.
