| 2 | * AwardSnub: A lot of people believe this film should've won Best Picture at the Oscars instead of ''Film/MillionDollarBaby''. Additionally, Creator/MartinScorsese and Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio lost in the respective categories of Best Director and Best Actor. |
| 3 | %%* JerkassWoobie: Howard himself. |
| 4 | * HarsherInHindsight: Pan Am and TWA are shown as behemoths who would revolutionize air travel. Just three years before the release of the film TWA was unceremoniously bought out by American Airlines. A decade before that Pan Am was unceremoniously bought out by Delta. Both were largely forgotten for many years. However both have come back into popular culture somewhat in recent years due to their iconic status of a forgotten age when air travel was a luxurious status symbol instead of the laborious task it is today. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: Creator/MattRoss plays a Lieutenant of an eccentric billionaire boss who’s on the leading edge of technology. A decade later he would become a crazy billionaire boss himself on Series/SiliconValley. |
| 6 | * OneSceneWonder: Creator/JudeLaw as Creator/ErrolFlynn. |
| 7 | * QuestionableCasting: Creator/CateBlanchett as Creator/KatharineHepburn. True, she manages to mimic the accent pretty well, but dye job or not, she looks nothing like the real Hepburny. But AbilityOverAppearance garnered her critical acclaim and an Academy Award for her performance, in the end. |
| 8 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/AdamScott makes a pre-''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' appearance as Johnny Meyer. |
