* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Agent Greer asks ([[SarcasmMode not seriously]]) whether Eliot Arnold, an advertising executive, has the knowledge to disarm ''"a Russian nuclear warhead with a plutonium rod encased in a terillium core?"'' What Greer probably meant to say is beryllium (Be), an element used in some atomic weapons. There is no chemical element or compound named terillium.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The book was published in 1999, and a significant plotline revolves around the incompetence of airline security. This plotline was amped up in the movie adaptation which was due to be released in late 2001... at which point, following certain events, the incompetence of airline security became a lot less funny. The movie was pushed back to 2002, whereupon it was found to be in poor taste following the September 11th attacks.

Relocation of Executive Meddling from main to Trivia.
Added DiffLines:
* ExecutiveMeddling: Both literal and meta. Touchstone required that some of the book's more risque humor be toned down to avoid the Dreaded R Rating, which robbed the story of a lot of the source's satirical humor. Then the film, whose finale involves [[spoiler:an armed idiot aboard a plane]] ended up getting sidelined by reality when the 9/11 attacks happened only ten days before the film's scheduled release. Realizing how tone-deaf (not to mention just flat-out inappropriate) the film would be in the wake of the tragedy, Buena Vista withheld the film's release until the following April and essentially nixed its entire advertising campaign.
