* Howard Hughes' court hearing at the end. I'm not sure if the real Howard had as spectacular a hearing as in the movie.
** Actually, he did. Some of the quotes (like the one that includes "I will leave this country and never come back--and I mean it!") come directly from the transcript of the hearing. Further proof that Howard was basically a moment of awesome incarnate. And during the actual hearing, Hughes got permission to put Brewster on the witness stand after Brewster's conflicts of interest were revealed. Not shown was Hughes' ultimate revenge - he funded Brewster's primary opponent in the 1952 Senate election, who went on to win the seat.
* OneSceneWonder Creator/ErrolFlynn starting a fight at a party. He steals a man's chair and the man throws a snowball at him in retaliation. Angry words are exchanged and the man calls him a 'Limey bastard'. Flynn corrects him - he's a ''Tasmanian'' bastard, thank you very much - then punches him down. When the man gets up and comes after him he knocks him down again, despite being held back and having another man between them.
