During a rocket/shuttle takeoff, no vehicle or flying aircraft is allowed anywhere near, yet during the last five minutes of the countdown, a van picks up the astronauts and drives them to a helicopter. The helicopter couldn't be very far away because of the short time left on the countdown, and the helicopter could never have stealthily flown off or be allowed to fly off without NASA radar picking it up, never mind the flight to the Lear jet. [Key NASA personnel had to be in on the conspiracy. The radar was just ignored.]

When the three Astronauts crash the Lear jet in the desert, on the outside shots of them walking in their separate directions, there are no marks behind the jet to show that it skidded across the surface where it stopped. See more...
Capricorn One (1978) - 2 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Elliot Gould who plays the character of Caulfield is very obviously not a smoker. When he is travelling in his girlfriends car after being released from jail, he doesn't once smoke his cigarette despite it being in his mouth for much of the conversation in the car. When he gets out of the car, he takes a drag from the cigarette, but again, as he's not a smoker in his real life, the smoke is blown straight back out of his mouth. [Perhaps his character is trying to quit smoking. A friend, who was trying to quit, used to have a cigar or cigarette in his mouth, often unlit, in an attempt to cut down and eventually quit smoking. The same applies for inhaling.]
