Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the flight crew boards the aircraft, a Boeing 747, they walk right past the steps going upstairs and continue straight to the nose of the aircraft. The access to the flight station is on the second level. The only thing in nose of the aircraft on the passenger level is passenger seats. There is no access to the flight station there.

Movie Connections:

References Animal House (1978)

do not watch sober!

this film is the best worst film i have ever seen. Its so terribly acted out and made but at the same time so funny because of its poor acting and plot. I think the comedy starts with the 5foot long hair straightner cord and how she got electrocuted in the bath. haha one thing you never find out is why they were hijacking the plane? "We have 20 minutes to dig a 100 yard runway" is amongst the best of the quotes as they jump into their mini diggers moving 2mph whilst speaking through walkie talkies to the person around 1 metre away from them. Also if you ever want to feel safe on a plane i suggest you hire the one from this film. it can have 5 handguns and 1 uzi blasting rounds for a few minutes with only one bullet piercing a hole in the fuel tank that is in the wrong place. I am telling you all this so that you don't have to spend money on it. "I bet your getting payed overtime for this, No I work on a flat rate" hahahahaha such a funny pathetic film
