* ArtisticLicenseHistory:
** While there was indeed a special forces group sent to infiltrate Inchon, it wasn't made up solely of Koreans like the movie but a joint US-South Korean team made up from the US Military and the CIA.
** The mission itself also had a few details omitted; acquiring the plans and locations of the sea mines is prioritised as one of them, but also the ''defusal'' of said mines. In reality, the team reported that there was in fact an ''underwhelming'' amount of dangerous sea mines placed in the channel making the mission easier than expected.
** General Hoyt Vandenberg, then-Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force is depicted as attending the August 23 meeting in 1950. He was not present for that particular meeting, being one of the [[InterserviceRivalry most vocal critics]] of [=MacArthur=]'s plan, which is somewhat accurately portrayed in the movie in later scenes.
** The movie depicts the US Navy reaching Inchon bay area under stealth conditions and only firing on the shore defences on the 15th of September. In reality, the Navy had been shelling and bombing Inchon for about several days prior to the operation.
** Soviet-made 203mm B-4 Howitzers were not actually present at the Inchon beaches as the Soviets never really mass-produced enough units for even themselves. The largest artillery pieces the North Koreans could have possibly fielded at the time were A-19 122 mm guns, ML-20 152mm howitzers and former [[UsefulNotes/NazisWithGnarlyWeapons Wehrmacht 15 cm sFH 18 guns]].
** [[spoiler:Jang-choon]] gets picked up for extraction via a proto-Fulton system by being directly hooked to a low flying plane. Surface-to-air recovery systems had been in testing since the 1950s, but the first successful extraction of a living human being was recorded in 1961, a decade after the movie takes place.

* BavarianFireDrill: Hak-Soo pulls a brief one during the bar standoff by convincing the North Korean response force that the "traitors and spies" are still inside the building fighting. This distracts the enemy squad long enough for X-Ray Team to mow them all down while their backs are turned.
* {{BFG}}: The coast of Inchon is heavily defended by an concealed battery of Soviet-made 203mm B-4 Howitzers, which proves to be a ''major'' obstacle for [=MacArthur's=] landing fleet.
* BigBad: Commander Lim Gye-Jin, the North Korean commander in charge of the defence forces at Incheon, and a [[DirtyCommies Dirty Commie]] to boot, given that he is established early in the movie as a protégé of Kim Sung Il himself.

* TanksButNoTanks: The mockup of a SU-85 Self-Propelled Gun that Hak-Soo and Dae-soo commandeer during the titular operation has a open top design, which was not a standard feature of the SU-series of Soviet tank destroyers. The cannon diameter also suggests a smaller caliber; either the 76mm [=ZiS=]-30 AT gun or a 57mm [=ZiS=]-4. [[spoiler:Averted with the T34-85 medium tank that Gye-Jin himself pilots to counter Hak-Soo's assault gun.]]
