Doug borrows some time on the world's most expensive video game
The confrontation with the bullies mirrors an attack on Doug's father - who had been flying in international airspace when shot down, so he could be held hostage. The film doesn't say which country was involved, only that it claimed a "200 mile limit" while the US only recognizes 12. Sounds a lot like [[Libya]]; see [[Gulf of Sidra incident]].

After hearing the bad news about his dad - and the fact that the US is planning no military response, Doug borrows some time on the world's most expensive video game (an F-16 flight simulator vs. MIGs).
