Trivia:
Despite being conceived in the traditional manner, Sil's baby is born by being pushed out of her chest cavity, not her abdomen. This is reminiscent of another H.R. Giger creation, the alien from Alien (1979), who was 'born' by bursting violently out of a character's chest.

Goofs:
Continuity: Sil is in the process of removing the swimwear from the "hot tub guy" when the good guys show up to get her. But after she notices they arrived for her, the swim short on the guy seems to have been pulled back up to the guy's waist.

For some reason, a quality cast including Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker, Alfred Molina, Michael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger signed up for this knockabout trash about an escaped alien-human hybrid in a search of a mate, which somehow managed to avoid the straight-to-video pile and is little more than an excuse for a few car chases and many sightings of Natasha Henstridge's knockers. In a stroke of luck, the first programmes Henstridge sees on TV once she's on the loose teach her how to use money and credit cards, drive, have sex, dye her hair and crash a car into a pylon, all of which come in handy in the ensuing tosh. Kingsley and Whitaker take it all too seriously, Molina's funny on purpose, the score's atmospheric (if reminiscent of 'Aliens' in places) and there's a nicely played romance between Madsen and Helgenberger. This is, of course, absolute rubbish and as dumb as a bus, but it's kind of enjoyable despite all that.
