Correction: Watch the movie with subtitles, he does call her Jan.

Corrected entry: The film claims that Saudi Arabia is the largest oil supplier to the U.S. That is false. The largest percentage of oil imported into the U.S. comes from Canada.

Correction: Prior to 2001 Canada was not the largest crude oil supplier, Saudi Arabia was. Since that time, Canada has surpassed Saudi Arabia in exports to the US. However, the US exports back to Canada almost the same amount of oil for refining and other purposes. Therefore, while Canada does have the largest percentage export of crude oil to the US, it is not the largest *net* exporter to the US. In volume of oil imported to the US, Saudi Arabia is behind Canada and Mexico, but this doesn't take into account the crude shipped into Canada and Mexico for further refining, so with that logic, Saudi Arabia is the largest *net* exporter to the US.

Factual error: In the intro sequence of the movie where they show old clippings and all, the animation part depicting the sep,11 incident seems to be wrong. A plane is shown moving towards the south tower while the north tower stands clear of smoke. In the actual incident, the north tower took the first hit. The north tower in the animation can be identified by the antenna. (00:03:10)

Adam Leavitt: Sir, not to beat a dead horse, but if there was ever a time for us to put boots on Saudi sand, I mean, don't you think this is it?
Janet Mayes: There's no way, Adam. They will never allow it.
Adam Leavitt: Then let's just ask.
Janet Mayes: The Saudi Royal Family cannot appear as if they're losing control. If they lose control of their country, lose control of the people, they risk losing control of the oil. And that's not going to happen.

Trivia: In one scene towards the beginning, Jaime Foxx's character refers to a place named Terrell, Texas, saying it has the best chili. Terrell, Texas is Jaime Foxx's hometown, an obvious homage.
