details

• A special effects assistant received critical injuries due to a handheld mock-up of a stinger missile exploding as it was being prepared to be used in a scene aboard a helicopter.
  
  
• Emily Blunt filmed her part in two days.
  
  
• Towards the end of the movie Charlie Wilson is presented with one of the Stingers he helped provide to the Afghans. In an interview with the real Charlie Wilson, Wilson states that he still has the Stinger as it's one of his most prized possessions and it's kept in "a very honored spot in my home".
  
  

• A vintage Miss Texas photo of Mary Nell Hubbard (1958) was used for a scene in the movie because Julia Roberts plays a former beauty queen. Hubbard wouldn't take payment for the photo she provided. She privately joked, "I've gone from a headline to an archive to an artifact," and her daughter gently teased her that she is a body double for Julia Roberts.
  
  
• Though recuperating from heart transplant surgery, the real Charlie Wilson made it to the red carpet premiere of the film.
  
  
• 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 is invited to Joanne Herring's home for a party. In her house, we see a full length painting of her. Except for 'Julia Robert (I)' 's features, this painting is a copy of John Singer Sargent's "Madame X".
