* SpecialEffectsFailure: There are two instances of exploding planes in the film, both of them laughably fake CGI. The first at least has the excuse of being green-screened into the background behind Cruise at night, but the second one at the end looks painted into the skies.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* CriticalResearchFailure: The festivity of San Fermín only takes place in Pamplona, not in Seville or any other part of Spain (in fact, a sharp-eared viewer with some knowledge of Spanish might hear the extras in the film chant "''A Pamplona hemos de ir''", a popular song meaning "To Pamplona we must go" that references clearly this fact). This is shocking considering that a previous Tom Cruise film, ''Film/MissionImpossibleII'', featured the same critical research failure and was widely mocked in Spain for it - one would think Cruise and the US cinema industry would have taken notes for the next time they wanted to shoot a movie with Sanfermines in it.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Isobel George generally comes across as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure mixed with SympatheticInspectorAntagonist who wrongly (but understandably) trusts the villain over the hero. However, her final scene makes her character much harder to read. [[spoiler:She has a sweet conversation with Roy, then ends it with her comment that she's sending him to a [[FalseReassurance secure place for his safety]]. Is this confirmation that she is an outright villainous character out to kill him for her own reasons, or is this her attempt to warn Roy that he's in danger while he still has time to do something about it? It's also worth noting that June is in the room incognito as a nurse during this conversation, getting ready to rescue Roy herself. Did Isobel fail to notice her, or notice her but pretend not to?]]

* NarmCharm: Tom Cruise plays a very convincing unhinged secret agent. Anyone else would have seemed just plain Narmy in the role but he actually makes it work. Maybe because people think he's crazy already?

* CriticalResearchFailure: San Fermín doesn't take place in Seville (nor in all Spain - it is only celebrated in the city of Pamplona). It is rather shocking, considering that a previous Tom Cruise film, ''Film/MissionImpossibleII'', featured the same research failure and was widely mocked in Spain for it.
* HilariousInHindsight: Roy being able to hold his breath for extended periods is especially appropriate now that Creator/TomCruise has done Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation with its extended free-diving sequence.

The funny moments of the film have their own page, so moving example there; and "X Meets Y" is a "Just For Fun" page now, not a trope.
