Trivia

Jim says he used to work "for the Johnstown Company" - likely a reference to Bruce Springsteen's song, "The River" which itself is quoted moments later by Ray. Johnstown, PA, is most famous for an 1889 flood, caused, like the flood in this film, by a dam failure. »

Goofs

Factual errors: Cars submerged in water do not float on the water surface as they did in the movie. If a car is driven (or falls) into water, it will stay on the surface only until the air trapped under the hood and the trunk / passenger department has been displaced with water. »

Quotes

Henry: I'm going to row back there and see if he will shoot you. Or me. It's fine either way.

Crazy Credits

The Paramount mountain is seen in much worse weather than normal; the
camera pans down from the logo to scenes of flooding. »
