* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Creator/IanMcKellen approximates an American accent decently well, though it does slip in some of the more emotional moments. He didn't bother approximating the real accent of Bill Kraus, which had a distinctly Midwestern twang. This is probably for the best.

* AgeLift: The real Bill Kraus died aged 38. While Creator/IanMcKellen looks quite good for his age at that time (54) he definitely looks older than Bill Kraus ever was.
** Subverted with Kico, who leaves Bill partly because of Bill's CommitmentIssues and partly because Bill is MarriedToTheJob.
* CouldSayItBut: Mathilde Krim (the unnamed woman at the press conference) notes that Gallo's virus is almost completely identical to the one the Pasteur Institute isolated. She then goes on to say that it would only possible if they had a sample taken from the same patient, but doesn't say ''how'' that would have happened. The book details it, implying that Jacques Leibowitch, a doctor who worked with the scientists early on but was denied a job at the Pasteur Institute (thus having a grudge), brought the sample to Gallo's laboratory.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: Don Francis, in the end, with the transfer to San Francisco. Although some of the other scientists and doctors portrayed in the film as well as the book came out pretty well (Mary Guinan advanced to be assistant director of the CDC; Mervyn Silverman redeemed himself by becoming the longtime president of the American Foundation for AIDS Research) others found themselves on the wrong end of politics (Don Francis, who retired from the CDC in 1992; Marcus Conant, who was forced out of his professorship at the University of California and returned to a strictly private practice in dermatology) and ended up either reassigned, demoted, KickedUpstairs, or otherwise forced out of their jobs.
