Add something

Trivia: At the end of the movie, the plane is crashing into the front of a casino. This building is actually The Sands hotel. The scene was done a few weeks/months before the hotel was demolished, this way the damages to the hotels entrance as the plane was launched into it didn't matter.

Trivia: Dave Chappelle ad-libbed most of his lines.

Trivia: The original plan for the ending of the movie was to crash the plane into the White House.

Trivia: The scenes of Garland Greene and the little girl were added to give him more screen time. They filmed them after principal photography was finished.

Trivia: John Cusack hates this film so much, he refuses to talk about it in interviews.

Mistakes

Factual error: In full view of police officers Cyrus murders a Federal Marshall, then he boards an aircraft which takes off despite being refused clearance. This would result in the immediate closure of the airport. It would be locked down until cleared as a crime scene which could take three or four days. All incoming flights would be diverted to their alternates and all planned outgoing flights would be grounded. How, then, does Uncle Bob's Scenic flight get clearance for takeoff?

Questions

Question: Why did Poe get back onto the plane when it left Carson city? I know he stayed on after the first stop cause Cyrus wouldn't let Baby-o off and Poe needed to get him his insulin shot. But he got his shot in Carson city and Poe had no reason to get back on (seemed even more ludicrous after he tied the plane up.but anyway).

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: Poe is an ex-Ranger, and he wants to stop the criminals. Also he wanted to save the cops inside the airplane.

Anastasios Anastasatos

Answer: You almost have it right, with one exception. Poe does not get the insulin to Baby O in Carson City. It is not until they reach their second stop at Lerner Airfield when he gets the first aid kit. He rushes the first aid kit back on board and is able to give him the shot, but at this point, the plane is already taking off.
