Trivia:
The toy store in the movie in reality is a bookstore on the Main Street in Clinton, New Jersey, USA. There is a toy store on Main Street but it is in an alley and the director didn't like the exterior of the building. The bookstore's front window was decorated with toys for the week of filming.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When the pressure hull is breached, the copilot declares an emergency and requests permission to descend immediately, but Air Traffic Control says to maintain altitude due to traffic below. What should happen is that he starts the emergency descent first, then tells ATC what he's doing, and they immediately divert the other traffic to give him priority.

There's a bizarre human appetite for that which is awful. From lookie-looing at traffic accidents to Man Show mooks to Lettreman's stupid pet tricks to worst home videos, etc., people like to watch people being stupid, outrageous, and ridiculous. Therein lies the appeal of "Turbulence", a not-to-be-taken-seriously white knuckle ride into the realm of the ridiculous with Holly as the "Stew" who's got to save a 747 jumbo jet with a handful of passengers against all odds including one very whacked out serial killer (Liotta). Ok, ok...this movie is stupid. However, for those who can get to that place in their heads where they don't intellectualize, just go with it, and enjoy the humor-tinged hair raising suspense and silliness, 100 minutes of entertainment awaits.
