General Hummel:
Congressman Weaver and esteemed members of the Special Armed Services Committee, I come before you to protest a grave injustice... It has to stop.
Goofs
(at around 1h 50 mins) The plane which rolls out of the hangar is a two seat F/A-18 Hornet, yet all aircraft in the flight squadron are single seaters. This plane has no tail markings such as aircraft registration number and squadron ID.
Alternate Versions
The UK channel 5 version cuts Commander Anderson's death, when he is shot the first time; the shot of his blood spilling out of his back was replaced by a shot of Sean Connery.
