When the Israeli airliner is attacked, the weapons shown are clearly rocket propelled grenades which would be an inappropriate weapon for an attack on an airborne plane. It is likely that the story meant to show the use of stinger missiles.

The Egyptian flag which appears in the era of President Sadat (1970 to 1981) is the one with a golden eagle in it. Actually this version of the Egyptian flag was introduced in 1984 so it makes no sense showing up in the first few years of Sadat's era!.

At 1:09:57 there is an image of the Tora prison in located in Helwan, Egypt, south of Cairo. In the image a description is printed describing the prison name as the Torah prison. The Torah is the the first five books of the Hebrew bible not a prison.

There is a spelling mistake in Arabic in the letter send by Mona including Marwan Picture with Diana.

In the beginning of the film Marwan picks up his suitcases after having arrived at Rome airport. As o often in films, the suitcases are empty or filled with feathers. It shows so clearly in the way he carries the luggage, that it immediately takes one away from the story. Irritating.

It's the year 1970 and Marwan goes into the bar "Bag o' Nails". "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by the Hollies, first released in 1971, is playing. He subsequently dances to "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band, first released in 1975.

In the Bag o Nails pub they disco dance to KC and The Sunshine Band "Get Down Tonight" and drink shots. 1970 would be too early for disco dancing. the KC and the Sunshine Band song was released in 1975. Drinking shots while common now in the 21st Century would have been very unusual in the UK in 1970.

Ashraf Marwan got his degree in 1965. Gamal Abdel Nasser Died in 1970. In the movie, Ashraf receives the bad news about Nasser's death during a lecture at the university.

During the undated second contact with "Alex", the Mossad agent, information about the whereabouts of Ali Hassan Salameh, wanted for the attacks at the Munich Olympics, is presented hidden inside a newspaper dated May 28th, 1971. The Munich massacre took place in September 1972. Since clearly the meeting took place between 1972 and 1973 (after the Olympic Games and before the Yom Kippur war), it makes no sense to use a newspaper from 1971.

When using a public telephone to call the Israeli embassy, Ashraf Marwan deposits a coin before making his call. UK public telephones of this era did not work in that way. The caller dialed the number & was only required to deposit a coin once the call was connected, not before dialing.

The building were Sadat and Generals meets at that time was called Ministry of War not Ministry of Defense which is written outside the building in Arabic.

There was no one called Babak in the real events which is a Persian name not Arabic one.
