Trivia | The miniature vehicles in the film were custom built on a 1/25 scale. See more » |
Goofs | Watch the ending of the film carefully. When the helicopters are shooting the Peking Man to pieces, the impact of the rounds on his body, considering how big he is, should be tiny. But they are huge, as if the weapons being used are his size. Also, when Samantha and Johnny are wounded by the helicopters, the rounds should have torn their limbs off entirely, not just scratched them. See more » |
