Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe production team purchased and then crashed a real 747 airplane into a hangar. The stunt was all practical effects, with no visual effects or CGI. Director Christopher Nolan had originally planned to use miniatures and set-piece builds. However, while scouting for locations in Victorville, California, the team discovered a massive array of old planes, and it became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size and to perform the sequence for real on camera.
- GoofsOn many occasions during the movie, some characters are manipulating gold bars too easily relatively to the gold's density. The larger gold bars from the plane scene weigh about 20kg and would not be easily picked up with one hand. The smaller bars from the crate would weigh about 5kg.
- Quotes
The Protagonist: You wanna crash a plane?
Neil: Well, not from the air. Don't be so dramatic.
The Protagonist: ...well, how big a plane?
Neil: That part is a little dramatic.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and Syncopy logos are respectively shaded red and blue, the colors used in the film to represent normal/inverted time.
- Alternate versionsThe United Kingdom subsidiary of Warner Bros. to maximize their UK cinema audiences, made their "Distributors Cuts" as recommended by the BBFC, to remove 9.3 seconds of footage from the cinema theatrical version, to secure their preferred "12A BBFC" rating. Removed from 72:34 until 72:43 minutes, showing Sator (Kenneth Branagh) during a violent fight, repeatedly kicking his wife Kat (Elizabeth Debicki). When the original 150:00 minutes version was seen for advice, the BBFC indicated that for the uncut version, the "15 BBFC" rating was likely. The "12A BBFC" rating version was later released on home video in the UK, with the "12 BBFC" rating.
