Line 14:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: Evelyn turning to Danny after Rafe's supposed death.
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Rafe and Danny.
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: A Japanese pilot actually ''did'' wave to the kids playing a baseball game mainly to get them to get out of there. Oddly enough, this often got more complaints than the actual mistakes.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Naval Marshall General Isoroku Yamamoto ([[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type IV]]). While being charged by the Japanese Empire with the task of somehow successfully destroying the American Pacific navy at anchor in shallow waters, he is making comments such as ''"A brilliant man would find a way not to fight a war."''
Line 47:
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: Many assume the Japanese pilot waving to kids playing baseball is fake. It got almost more accusations of being fake than the actual inaccuracies.
* [[Shout-Out]]: After being ordered to land after an exercise, the pilots instead decide to do a flyby. Sure the details are different, but the allusion to ''[[Top Gun]]'' is clear (and some would say ''very inappropriate'').
* [[Someone to Remember Him By]]:
* [[Stan Winston]]: The injuries of the attack's victims crafted by Stan's studio were one of the film's redeeming points. Also responsible for turning Jon Voight convincingly into [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]].
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "It's a dud!" No, it's a delayed-detonation bomb.
