Quotes

Ginger: If you want a chance in hell at getting your daughter back, you better listen up. Unless of course, you want to stay here, in this loser existence, while your daughter grows up to be the fluffer in her daddy's new videos.

Stanley Jobson: Please pay me the courtesy of not confusing your own childhood with my daughter's.

Trivia

The scene with the helicopter putting the bus on the building was technically impossible as no building roof could hold that weight safely. So the crew built a set of the roof that was reinforced to hold the bus. The rest of the city was CGI inserted around it. See more...

Factual error: Worms are not created in AutoCAD.  Ever.  Period.  Does not happen, cannot happen.  Building design work and the like is done in AutoCAD.  Viruses and worms are coded out by hand or created with a generator by slackers that don't know the code and then compiled into executables.

Continuity: When Hugh Jackman, Don Cheadle and the extra jump off the cliff and slide down the muddy, dusty side of the steep hill they are covered in filth on the way down. When they hit bottom the only evidence of the trip is a little sweat. Even their shoes are clean.

Factual error: Considering the explosion's force vector, I am at a loss to explain the flying cars. The cars should have been pushed sideways. Inertia of the cars is another problem. Explosions occur in very short time intervals. So, the force needed to overcome a car's inertia and accelerate it into the air would be extremely large. Unfortunately, car bodies aren't designed for such forces. A violent explosion would hit a stationary car like a speeding bus. The car would be demolished, not thrown in the air. Bad physics!

Factual error: At the end of movie, the TV speaker says US Embassy in Istanbul was bombed by terrorists. US does not have an embassy in Istanbul, Turkey, but has a consulate. Embassies are located in the Capital, i.e. Ankara.

Revealing: When the Senator is being killed by Travolta in the river, we can see some shots of his assistant before his car explodes. If you stop the motion just half a second before the frontal shot of the explosion, you can see in the driver seat a dummy with a green face.
