Trivia:

The original draft of the screenplay set the action at night; it was changed to a daylight story setting to save money.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: While chasing the plane in the Sheriff’s car, Sly says to Cutter, "Hey John, you bring your ass back alive, do you hear me?" to which Cutter replies, "And miss the opportunity to get back at you? no way!", which makes no sense. This possibly indicates that Sly said something along the lines of "don't get yourself killed" in one of the takes and Cutters response to this was used in the final edit as this would make Cutters response more feasible.

Quotes:

Charles Rane: "You wouldn't take advantage of a helpless man."
John Cutter: "Never stopped you."
Charles Rane: "It's the American way, isn't it, brother?"

Too High

This is the BEST movie, to make fun of.

First of all, Arsenio Hall did a great job as the kick ass action hero. The scene at the carnival wasn't very FAIR. I mean they only had 3 white guys versus 1 black one. Arsenio and walker Texas ranger would make an excellent team. Those two are totally cooler than Wesley Snipes. The head skyjacker was also the most believable Villain of all time! He is definitely NOT insane! The reason I'm sure is because he made that guy repeat it so often! It's unfortunate he didn't get to finish his audition for face off at the beginning of this movie. Too bad he didn't "bet on black"! This entire movie makes me look at all terrorists as British, half retarded, smooth talkers whose every line is so clique that I wonder if the men are even acting! They should have known to fly UNITED airlines next time!
