Trivia

After EDI arrives on the USS Washington, Jamie Foxx's character is seen in his quarters fooling around, wearing dark glasses and singing into a light, echoing his yet to be filmed, but released shot earlier, role as Ray Charles.

Goofs

When Lt. Gannon in Talon 1 is missile-locked by the pursuing Russian fighter, he gives the voice command "release chafe and flare." The correct term is chaff. Ejecting chaff (pieces of lightweight foil usually aluminum) creates a cloud of tiny targets that can fool a radar guided missile as the targeted jet radically moves away. The flare reference is a defense against heat seeking missiles. The chaff are dispensed way too close to be effective. Air-to-air missiles in air combat maneuvering (ACM) are fired from 10 to 60 miles away.

Quotes

EDI: EDI is a Warplane. EDI must have targets.

Crazy Credits

After the end of the credits, we go back to Korea and see the wreckage of EDI. We pass through most of the wreckage until we stop on EDI's central core. Suddenly, the red eye begins to glow.....

User Reviews

great action movie

Stealth was not the greatest movie I have ever seen, but it was pretty good. The beginning started out a little bland, but as it got into it, I was on the edge of my seat! I am not really into technology, or aircraft, but it didn't play a big factor in the film at all. The storyline was well done and the performances from the actors/actresses were also very good. The events were fairly realistic and moved well. I also thought that character interactions really helped make prominent events more memorable. If you are looking for a great action, explosion, military movie, this is it! I recommend this film to people who enjoy a lot of action and really sweet visual effects!
