- TriviaWhen Tom is given the money by the bank manager, it goes into a very small bag. One understands it is meant to be about 1.3 million US Dollars, and when they are counting the cash on one of those machines, only one hundred dollar notes can be seen. If it was all in hundreds, there would have to be one hundred and thirty wads of ten grand each, weighing over twenty stone - that is just under the weight of a defensive tackle in American Football. Assume Tom got it in thousand dollar note, that would be 1300 such notes, tipping the scales at a bit over three pounds - the size of a smaller bag of sugar. One might rather have expected it to at least have been carried in a large briefcase.
- GoofsThe plot of this film takes place in Santa Monica, CA. The killer's van shows blue California plates. When the van is parked on the top level of the parking structure, a police cruiser with two officers shows up. As they leave they check the plates, we see a white California plate with plate number instead of the blue plate shown on front and back as the van is moving. Also, the plate numbers/letters don't even come close to looking like the font CA uses on their plates.
Featured review
Eric Roberts Terrorizes John Ritter
"Corporate executive Tom Williams (John Ritter) and his beautiful wife Gina (Rachel Hunter) take a much needed family vacation to sunny California. Unfortunately, they end up in the sights of Eddie (Eric Roberts), a career criminal, and his violent crew of kidnappers looking for their next mark. The crooks earn Tom's trust, get his guard down, and snatch Gina and their children. If Tom ever wants to see his family again, he must pay Eddie $1.2 million, his entire net worth. With only one day to comply and no one to turn to for help, Tom is in a race against time, with his family's lives at stake," according to the DVD sleeve.
That is an excellent description of the "Tripfall" plot, but doesn't give you any idea about how painful it is to watch this "family in peril" movie. It could be the worst to feature two fairly well-known names - those being Eric Roberts and John Ritter. They are so mismatched, it's pathetic. If Mr. Ritter were in shape, they could have exchanged roles; then, the actors might have made it more interesting. For the record, most others in the cast are better; though, admittedly, that's not difficult to say. For skin trackers, Katy Boyer wears a barely there pink bikini in extreme close-up, and the topless bar scene occurs early.
