    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 1h 11 mins) Carol's line "I've seen you naked! You think I wouldn't recognize you because you covered your cheekbones?" was an ad-lib by Blake Lively.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 4 mins) When Senator Hammond's helicopter is hovering at a very low altitude over the party, there is no wind/downdraft created by the chopper.
    • Quotes

      Parallax: I feel your fear growing. You will be dead soon...

      Hal Jordan: [moaning] In brightest day, in blackest night...

      Parallax: ...and when you are gone, I will destroy everything you ever loved...

      Hal Jordan: ...no evil shall escape my sight...

      Parallax: ...your family, your home, your planet will be no more.

      Hal Jordan: ...let those who worship evil's might...

      Parallax: Your entire human race will be wiped out, because you, Hal Jordan, were afraid.

      Hal Jordan: ...beware of my power, GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!

      [roars]

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: Sinestro draws the yellow power ring to him and puts it on. His uniform then glows yellow with the power of Parallax... and like Hammond, so does his eyes.
    • Alternate versions
      An Extended Cut is available on the Blu-ray release, which runs about 10 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. It restores back the 1993 prologue, especially detailing events leading to Martin Jordan's fatal crash. One more additional scene is restored where Hal and Jason talk longer about the perfect game and asking the boy to remember the feeling of that day.

    It's not that bad from the viewer pov

    Seriously it is not that bad from the publics point of view, it still entertaining to watch on a boring afternoon!

    Ryan hated this film a lot had a poor working relationship with director.

    BUT one brilliant thing did happen, he met Blake and had a happy family, that is one good thing!
