    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Tragedy struck during the production when a plane and a helicopter collided and four people were killed, including second unit cameraman Skeets Kelly.
    • Goofs
      One primary goal of the mission is to destroy "the" Magna Carta, thus demoralizing the British people. However, unlike the U.S. Constitution, the Magna Carta is not a single document but a series of nearly identical charters issued by royal seal. There were 11 "originals," each considered equally original, issued in 1215, of which 4 still survive. There were additional "exemplifications" issued under royal seal throughout the 13th Century, of which 20 more also survive. The destruction of a single version would, therefore, fail to accomplish the German mission of destroying the document.
