Trivia
When George Clooney's character mentions the poem about the sailor and the seagull (should be an albatross), he is talking about the poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The first time we see Brigadier General Dean Hopgood his uniform shows two stars indicating a Major General when he is supposed to be a Brigadier General (one star). See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
Although this film is inspired by John Ronson's Book The Men Who Stare At Goats, it is a fiction, and while the characters Lynn Cassady and Bill Django are based on actual persons, Sergeant Glenn Wheaton and Colonel Jim Channon, all other characters are invented or are composites and are not portrayals of actual persons. The filmmakers ask that no one attempt walking through walls, cloudbursting while driving, or staring for hours at goats with the intent of harming them... invisibility is fine. See more »Connections
