* [[Broken Aesop]]: If the intent was to play up the awesomeness of the F-104 Starfighter, the Air Force / Lockheed made a really poor choice of film crew. Their complete failure to include any interesting plot developments means that what little drama there was in the movie was provided entirely by the infamous operational/maintenance dangers of the Starfighter itself. The movie includes ''three'' Starfighter accidents, two caused by inclement weather - which was such a danger to the F-104 that NATO pilots in Germany ''and'' Italy called it "the Flying Coffin." Of course, the film might have been trying to head off those complaints by depicting a US Senator concerned about the plane's accident record, and showing how ''cool'' the plane was anyway.
