    • Trivia
      The two lions seen on either side of the steps down from the elevator to the secret library are not duplicates of the two lions, popularly known as Patience and Fortitude, outside the New York Public Library. Rather they are copies of the lions on the monument to Pope Clement VII in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome. They were sculpted by Antonio Canova between 1783 and 1792.
    • Goofs
      When Nicole and Flynn jump out of the plane, you can see them rushing past the wheels of the plane. The landing gear is only down for take-off or landing, and they had not yet come close enough to the airport for that to have happened.
    • Quotes

      Flynn Carsen: I just want to get to know the Nicole beneath the surface arrogance. Peel back the layers.

      Nicole Noone: What do you think is below the surface arrogance?

      Flynn Carsen: More arrogance. And then perhaps a few delicious layers of flaky disdain. All around a creamy sweet center of homicidal rage.

    • Alternate versions
      In addition to the 92' version, there is a 105' version (available as of 2022 in certain streaming platforms) which has extended scenes such as Flynn's first walk through the artifacts in the Library or Nicole and Flynn at the hotel in Mongolia, or added scenes such as the flight from Shangri-La in the Helicopter.

    the monks were awesome
    This was a perfect family movie my nine and ten year old loved and my wife and i agree.The scene with the monks was so real. the head monks assistant should followed the sword till the very end and becomes like Flynn's asst. And I truly believe he should make the sequel. The reality that all these thing looked so real all the equipment in the Library. Bob kicked some ass he looks good for an elder statesman. TNT is finally putting on what we Americans want for real fun entertainment that make you want to forget the evening news. I have followed the movie of Marc Roskin and Dean Devlan since Godzilla, id4, patriot, eight legged freaks, lap dancer. I think this is the way to go and with an actor as beloved by women and men like Noah you could get even 2 more sequels out of this
