Hot Shots! (1991)

Corrected entry: When Ramada is interviewing Topper in her office, she lists off the difficulties that his father had. She says "In 1971 his Visa card was cancelled." BankAmericard did not change its name to Visa until 1976.

Correction: In this instance it does not matter that National BankAmericard Inc. changed the name BankAmericard to the easy, memorable name Visa in 1976. Since it is the exact same card, it is hardly a mistake to have referred to it as the commonly known Visa card in the early 1990s, when the film was made - even though the card cancellation occurred in 1971, when it was still BankAmericard. Regardless, this is a character's choice of words, not a film mistake.
