Mistakes

In the hotel in Miami just before George gets shot, the scene starts with the camera on its side and the first thing that you see is a late model Ford van possibly 1997 model. Odd for a scene that occurred in the 70s. See more...

Trivia

When George is sharing a cell in prison with Diego, George is seen reading a paperback while reclining on his top bunk. The book is "Hells Angels" written by Hunter S. Thompson, the author whom Depp previously portrayed in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). See more...

George Jung has been in jail for years, but when he's released it seems like his young daughter hasn't aged at all. [Firstly, George was never released from prison. Second, the visit from his daughter is an imagined one. He may have wished to imagine his daughter in a suspended state of ageless youth.]
Edit
The large house that Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz live in and have their party in was bought by Tom Cruise in real life, he and Penelope now live there. [Tom Cruise doesn't live with Penelope Cruz anymore.]
Edit
Ray Liotta who plays George's father is only eight years older than Depp. [Not really trivia. Many actors play take roles that might call for them to be much older than younger characters despite in real life not being a large difference in age.]
Edit Corrected by Lummie
To prepare for the role Johnny Depp interviewed the real George Jung while in prison. [Hard to consider this trivia as it is nothing unique. Interviewing by actors of the real life subjects or relatives of the characters portrayed in films is so common it's not noteworthy.]

In the scene where Depp and Diego are first meeting the drug czar in Colombia, it shows them driving up in late model Suburbans; the time frame for the scene was early to mid seventies. The suburban models they were driving up in were not created until late seventies, early eighties. [This time frame is about right. George was caught with weed in the early 70's and served his sentence until just after the mid 70's. George eventually met the Drug Lord in the late 70's, once he had heard of George's excellent work.]
Edit
In the scene where Diago and George are about to meet Pablo, a man confronts Diago to tell him that only George can see Pablo but he refers to George as Senior John for Johnny Depp. [He say Senior Jung (pronounced Young)...not John.]
Edit
In the scene after George and Mirtha first go broke - he's outside the kitchen seated at the table talking to his daughter.  Mirtha gets upset and storms out of the kitchen, offscreen to another part of the house.  But throughout George's conversation with his daughter you can see a shadowy someone lurking around in the kitchen - several times. [Right when this scene starts Mirtha is walking into the kitchen and you seen then to the right that there is a cook/maid in the kitchen too. Thats who is in the scene after Mirtha storms out.]
Edit
Near the start of the movie when Johnny Depp is walking down the beach, there is a ship in the background that is first of all going at an amazing speed plus has smoke coming out of it that does change at all. [The camera is shifting to the right, with the group of people as its axis, and the ship on the other end of the pan. it is an optical illusion, but very obvious once you know what you're looking for].
