Trivia

Kerr Smith and Seann William Scott took motion sickness pills (Dramamine) before each plane crash take and were half-asleep in these scenes - that's why they aren't shown close-up much. See more »

Goofs

(at around 1h 20 mins) Downed power lines do not flail about wildly setting fire and explosions to all they touch. They lie perfectly still on the ground, occasionally setting small fires to grass, trees, etc, unless they land directly on a building or vehicle. See more »

Quotes

Tod Waggner: Alex. Let's go take a shit.
Alex Browning: Take a shit by yourself.
Tod Waggner: No, dude. Listen okay. Listen. Take some knowledge. We're about to board a seven-hour flight. The toilets in coach are barely ventilated closets. Alright, if that. Now lets say half way through the flight, right, your body wants that airplane food out. You got to go torque a wicked cable. Then directly after you, walks in Christa or Blake.

Creepy and Real
26 March 2000 | by a_jester66See all my reviews

This movie was frightening for one simple reason, it isn't afraid to go the route of talking about death, fate and if the inevitable is really unavoidable or if deaths plan can be fathomed and subsequently outwitted. The opening scene is downright scary, come on who hasn't got on a plane and wondered if it would crash, and let me tell you I am not in a hurry to get on one now. Thought the story is a little contrived and a bit predictable(though that is part of the story) the effect is still the same. The movie is not, despite what you may hear, a teen flick, if you're a horror fan from any generation trust me you'll like it as long as you go in wanting to see it and willing to actually think about the film and follow the story line. Trust me on this one and give it a shot.
