Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan
Other mistake: In the beginning when Yuri sells his first gun, an Uzi, in the hotel room, he states "It shoots hollow points." Yet all the ammo in the case are full metal copper jackets.
Suggested correction: It's the first time he tries to sell a gun. He is just wrong about the bullet type. Common mistake to make for a rookie.
Factual error: When the brothers are in Beirut and apparently get shot at by unknown forces behind a wall, Yuri scrambles to grab the money he threw while ducking. As he is picking up the cash, several of the $100 bills are of the new design introduced in 1996. However, this is 1982 Beirut, shortly after the Marine Base Bombing.
Yuri Orlov: [To the ATF agent who has apprehended him because his brother, who died of "natural causes", has a bullet in his body] I don't suppose this is about alcohol or tobacco.
Trivia: When Director Andrew Niccol was out buying thousands of AK-47 for the movie, he found that the real stuff was less expensive and more readily available than fakes. After the movie he had to resell them, and found himself becoming an arms dealer.
