I thought it was a powerful movie, but I was dismayed at the horrible historical inaccuracies. I just wish Spielberg had shown what it was really like.

Well, the entire methodology used by the Mossad agents in the film is completely different from how it actually happened. Moreover, the idea that there was just this one team out there is completely false. Also, the whole thing about keeping receipts is just an extension of an urban legend about how they were finally outed.

To be honest, the only thing in the film that was at all accurate was that the Munich murders occurred, and there were Mossad agents hunting down the perpetrators. Everything else was just a fiction based on this one book, whose title I can't recall at the moment.

In reality, every time they tracked down one of the people responsible, they looked them in the eye and asked them if they knew why they were there, made sure it was the right person, then shot them. No bombs were used because of the possibility of collateral damage.
