Corrected entry: Booth mentions that JFK did not want Secret Service agents on the bumpers of the car. This is a misconception. His agents repeatedly stated that JFK was more than happy to accept all security that was provided. The only thing he asked was if the security bubble over the car could be taken off when he met people, as he liked to do that. He did not insist on this, however; his security team decided it was fine - with disastrous results, of course.

Corrected entry: There have been rumours since day one that JFK had a deathwish as Booth states in the film. This was never the case. The secret service and his friends and family have repeatedly stated that this was not true and that it was the figment of conspiracists' imagination.
Correction: This is irrelevant to the film. The film is a work of fiction and this is merely a character expressing an opinion - it does not need to be disproved. Please confine trivia items to information that actually has significant bearing on the film itself.

In the Line of Fire (1993)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Eastwood is chasing Malkovich after he call hims from the pay phone across the street in the park, Malkovich darts across the path of a passing bus to disappear. If you watch the bottom of the bus, you can see Malkovich's footsteps as he runs to the right (the same direction the bus is heading) to create the appearance that he disappeared into thin air once the bus had gone by.
Correction: Leary has to disappear somehow - given that the film's grounded in some sort of reality, he can't genuinely have just vanished into thin air. We can see Malkovich's feet moving behind the bus because that's exactly how Leary did it.
