* ThisIsGonnaBeHuge: Howard has an eye for emerging trends. When ''The Jazz Singer'' is released, he declares that silent films are history and he needs to reshoot ''Hell's Angels'' for sound. At the end of the film, just before his final breakdown, he's talking about buying jet aircraft for TWA.

** The film depicts Creator/KatharineHepburn and Spencer Tracy hooking up on a movie set while she's still in a relationship with Howard and Howard pulling a IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy; in reality, she and Howard had already broken up for quite some time by the time she met Tracy. This seems to have been added just for the sake of the RuleOfDrama.
** There's a scene at the Hepburn dinner where Mrs. Hepburn says to Hughes, "We don't care about money here," to which Hughes retorts "That's because you have it. You don't care about money because you've always had it." Aside from the likehood of that exchange having actually taken place, the reverse happened in real life: Dr. Thomas N. Hepburn had raised himself from poverty working odd jobs through medical school in the early 1900s, while Howard Hughes had inherited Hughes Tool Company and few millions in cash at 18.
