* AmericansHateTingle: The film was a major box office success in the US and won the Academy Award for Best Picture but was not well-liked in Canada due to the large number of inaccuracies made to the story to [[AmericaSavesTheDay make the Americans out to be the sole heroes of the rescue]] (according to the former Canadian ambassador to Iran Ken Taylor, who was involved with the actual rescue, the Americans only did about 10% of the work while Canada handled the lion's share of what went on). The film even got such a poor reception at the Toronto Film Festival that director BenAffleck had to go back and recut some of the film (less than a month before opening) to give a fairer portrayal of the Canadians.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The VW van. Presumably it got left in the car park, but it appears they just decamp at the set-down area "There is no stopping in the Red Zone, the White Zone is for..". It doesn't look like Mendez hired it from Hertz, so there there wasn't a key-drop. Maybe there was valet parking...

** The film's Best Picture win marks the first time since 1989, when ''DrivingMissDaisy'' won top honors, that the director of the Best Picture winner wasn't nominated for Best Director. Though it was much less egregious in that case because Bruce Beresford hadn't won any awards for directing it and in fact was barely nominated for anything at all. And the fact that ''Driving Miss Daisy'' became an unpopular choice for Best Picture fairly quickly afterwards (having beat out ''My Left Foot'' and ''BornOnTheFourthOfJuly'') makes it less of a snub.
