There are no snow-capped mountains clearly visible from the Zurich airport (this is a post-production CGI embellishment explained in the DVD special features).

Alternate Versions

While the original ratio of this film is 2.35:1, video distributors in many countries (UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Norway) released the film in the wrong aspect ratio of 1.78:1. At this time (January 2005) the only release with the correct aspect ratio is the RC 1 DVD from Warner Home Video (unfortunately it is not anamorphically encoded).

User Reviews

just for children

If you are 10 years old and never seen a movie before, maybe this film may be entertainment for you, but if you've seen several movies, this one will be a silly fully-cliched cheap and predictable for you. Don't waste your time with this.
