* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The real life Billy Hayes recounted in his book that he was later moved to an island prison, where he escaped by stealing a boat during a storm, and using false identities, traveled all the way from Istanbul to the fortified Greek border. The entire escape is reduced to a quick text epilogue in the film.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Some of Max's dryly sarcastic comments are worth a chuckle. Like when Jimmy shows him a map of the prison: "It's too bad you didn't have a xerox machine."

Hamidou takes the money, but he brings him instead in another isolated room where he prepares to beat him and rape him once again.
