TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Though recuperating from heart transplant surgery, the real Charlie Wilson made it to the red carpet premiere of the film.

Towards the end of the movie, Charlie Wilson is presented with one of the Stingers he helped provide to the Afghanis. In an interview, the real Charlie Wilson said the Stinger is one of his most prized possessions, kept in "a very honored spot in my home."

An early draft of the script made more explicit connections between the mission in Afghanistan and the rise of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and the 9/11 attacks. These explicit connections were dropped when both Mike Nichols and Tom Hanks cut those scenes and made the subject present but more implicit.

Charlie Wilson said in a USA Today article that he had no qualms about the film, saying, "Anything I might have objected to, was provable."

Charlie Wilson's aides were all beautiful well-endowed women nicknamed "Charlie's Angels (1976)" after the television show. In real life, his chief aide was a man named Charlie Schnabel.
