Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe end title designer forgot to use punctuation when writing the end credits. This resulted in all assistants being listed as "ass designer" or "ass painter" etc.
- GoofsThough the movie is set in Massachusetts, when the ticket agent at the ferry asks The Ghost for his choice of ticket type, she uses the British words "single" and "return" instead of the United States expressions "one-way" and "round-trip".
- Quotes
Adam Lang: Spare me the bleeding-heart bullshit! Do you know what I'd do if I was in power again? I'd have two queues at airports: one for flights where we'd done no background checks, infringed on no one's civil bloody liberties, used no intelligence gained by torture. And on the other flight we'd do everything we possibly could to make it perfectly safe. And then we'd see which plane the Rycarts of this world would put their bloody kids on! And you can put that in the book!
- Crazy creditsThere are no opening credits. The title and cast list do not appear until after the last scene of the movie.
- Alternate versionsUS version was cut for language to secure a PG-13 rating (the usage of the words "fuck" and "shit" was severely toned down).
