Plot hole: In the opening scene, Travolta forces the SWAT team to let him go when he brandishes the remote detonation device he's holding. That's fine - but upon numerous occasions in his opening monologue (lighting a cigar, checking and smacking his watch), he isn't holding the device for lengthy periods of time. Why didn't the SWAT team shoot him at that point given they're covering his every angle with guns?

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.
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.
