Book/movie differences and other minor stuff
[edit]I added in a section with a few differences between the movie and the book it was based on. I also slightly fleshed out the newly-cleaned-up plot outline. Will probably add a spoiler warning before I add anything more substantial.--Raguleader 20:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
SH-3 Sea King/HH-3 Jolly Green Giant
[edit]I'd have to watch the movie again to see if it had Navy markings or not visible, but in the book, the SAR helicoptor was a USAF HH-3 Jolly Green Giant helicoptor, a slightly larger variant of the SH-3 Sea King used by the US Navy. Until someone checks the movie to see if the helicoptor was identifiably Navy, I'm changing the trivia section to mention the Air Force helicoptor.--Raguleader 17:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Video game
[edit]A popular video game was based on this I think. Does an article about it exist? Drutt (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The computer game based on the book/movie was never popular. I had it on the Amiga500 and it was terribly slow and unplayable. Not worth mentioning. --60.228.48.247 (talk) 10:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
An article was created shortly after I made that comment, Flight of the Intruder (video game). This page makes no mention of it though. I'll correct that. Drutt (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
ZSU-23-4
[edit]"The Zsu-23 anti-aircraft vehicle seen at the end was never used during the Vietnam War. Its first combat use was during the Yom Kippur War in 1973." this statement is partially in conflict with wikipedia entry on this vehicle ZSU-23-4, in the combat history section: "Vietnam War, during the last stage of Ho Chi Minh Campaign in 1975 by battery of 237th anti-aircraft artillery regiment.". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.4.125.102 (talk) 08:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- It reads : only during the last stage of Ho Chi Minh Campaign in 1975. So there is no conflict at all with the US movie plot. --Wisdood (talk) 10:53, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Lt Sammy Lundeen
[edit]This article links the actor who played Lt Sammy Lundeen to Justin Williams, an ice hockey player who would have been 10 years old when the film was released and therefore is obviously not the correct Justin Williams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:2900:11A4:9C21:8E16:4494:E33 (talk) 15:03, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
