Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Chuck Norris climbs out of the water at the end, a bunch of sailboats are shown behind him peacefully sailing past. Yet he had just drive a car into the water and it sank, and closeup shots of the water showed it still swirling violently where the car was. In reality, the boats would have immediately circled back to look for survivors in the car. See more »

Quotes
