Factual error: The opening narration states that a US-backed coup overthrew the democratically elected prime minister of Iran in 1953, and Reza Pahlavi was installed as Shah. First, the PM in Iran was not democratically elected, but appointed by the parliament with approval of the Shah. Second, Reza Pahlavi became Shah in 1941 - the coup in 1953 simply allowed the royal family to reclaim rule over the country.

Factual error: The establishing shot of Mendez's trip to California in January 1980 shows the Hollywood sign in a state of severe disrepair as it appeared in the 1970s. However, the sign was replaced in 1978, so it should appear more pristine, like it does today. (00:26:35)
