The "questions" section is for any random questions that occurred to you while watching this film, or anything you didn't entirely understand, and which Google or the IMDb can't help with. Submit them as a question, and hopefully someone will answer (the bold comments in brackets) - check back regularly. If the answer is wrong, or missing information, please use the "clarify answer" option. Don't feel limited - want to know what music played in a certain scene? Whether this was the first film to use a certain effect? Here's the place to ask!
Does anybody know who was originally asked for the soundtrack instead of Aerosmith? [Assuming you mean 'asked to record the song I Don't Want To Miss A Thing'? According to an article in this month's Empire magazine (June 2008) it was originally written with Celine Dion in mind.]

In one scene of an overhead view of the White House, we can see that the flag on the roof is at half-mast. Why was the flag lowered? [Because at the beginning of the movie, the asteroid fragments attacked New York and killed lots of civilians. When a natural disaster hits America,the President, as well as many businesses will lower the flag out of respect.]

Why is it that Chick isn't in the wedding scenes at the end? [Watch the credits, he's there, in the first 30 seconds of the credits.]
Did A.J and Grace grew up together? Bear said that all of them had watched Grace grow up. [As AJ said in the movie, he's been working for Harry for 5 years. So No, they didn't grow up together.]
What did the Chinese guy mean when he did a thumbs up towards Harry on the oil rig? [Thumbs up in America means "good job" or "Yes. ok" something along those lines. The Chinese guy has no idea what Liv Tyler and Harry Stamper are talking about in English and just gives the "thumbs up" to him as a way of saying "good job on the oil rig, everything looks great!"]

Who plays the cab driver at the beginning of the movie? He looks familiar but I can't put a name to the face. [According to IMDb, his name is Mark Curry. Check his filmography at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193104/.]
My friend said that some of the theme in the movie was not featured in the soundtrack especially the one where Harry blows up the bomb.Is this true and if it is ,then why? [There's only so much room on a CD. The soundtrack features the song tracks from the movie, and that only left room for one instrumental track.]
For those who have the soundtrack, can you tell me the name of the theme when Harry sacrifices himself with the flashbacks of Grace? [It's called "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" By Aerosmith.]
Would someone please explain why they need a huge Gatling gun on the asteroid? Are they scared of aliens or what? [If you look at the deleted scenes on the special edition DVD, you will see a deleted scene in which A.J. asks what they needed a gun for, and Max explains that it's for debris elimination, in order to take out small rocks in the way.]
