Jewel of the Nile (1985)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Lewis Teague
Starring: Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Spiros Focas
Factual error: There is absolutely no way to fit three people in the cockpit of a single seat F16 fighter. There is no large empty space behind the pilot's seat - there is a bulkhead, and behind that a rather obtrusive jet engine. Even the two seater training version of the F16 cannot accommodate three people - there is no space behind either seat large enough for a third person, which this mockup has.
Ralph: You know, I'll bet you can buy a great townhouse down here for around five or six dollars.
Question: The lead villain Omar bears a striking resemblance to actor Omar Sharif (although it isn't him). Was naming him Omar an in-joke or just coincidence?
Chosen answer: Most likely a coincidence. It's a common Middle Eastern name.
