Trivia:
Michael Biehn's character reads Sun Tzu's "The Art of War". Biehn starred in The Art of War (2000) alongside Wesley Snipes. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: After Harold has been injured on the descent, Taylor gives him an injection of adrenalin he found on Dallas' body. Adrenaline (ephinephrine) has no effect on reversing hypothermia or mitigating pain, as the scene implies. In fact, the drug would have constricted Harold's blood vessels and hastened his demise. more
Quotes:
Harold: [Harold and Taylor are in a tent] Hey Taylor, you awake?
Taylor Brooks: No.

Good climbing action and little more, 7 August 2002
5/10
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA

"K2", a rather ordinary adventure flick, tells of the assault on the mercurial Himalayan mountain by a pair of American climbers and their associates. An okay climbing flick with plenty of beautiful scenery and climbing action from rock to snow to ice, the film has a weak plot, technical oversights aplenty, and more than its share of filler not the least of which are some family issues which go nowhere. Good stuff for those into climbing, okay stuff for those into escapist adventure flix, and forgettable stuff for all others. (C+)
