Corrected entry: Twice, there is reference to the "township of Nacogdoches." Texas doesn't have townships.

1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman
Factual error: During a montage depicting Afghan fighters shooting down Soviet aircraft, the stock military shots show an A6 Intruder, an F4 Phantom, and soon after, an F-16 Falcon getting shot down. All are jets Russia never used, as they are American aircraft. (01:22:15)
Gust Avrakotos: You know, me and three other guys are killing Russians. Is it possible that I met the only elected official in town who can help me?

Correction: That will be news to Irvinggton Twp, TX and Monroe Twp, Tx, for starters. And Nacogdoches itself certainly was a township during the time of Sam Houston (1830s). I would guess some of the locals might still call it just that, even if it may no longer be a township in a legal sense by this film's 1980 era.
