Trivia

While "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd is playing in the background, Garland Greene (Steve Buscemi) says: "Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash." On October 20, 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed. It was the model Convair 240.  »

Goofs

Continuity: When Tricia and Casey are waiting for Cameron, Casey is holding three balloons above her head. In the first long-shot the balloon nearest to Casey's face is red, then in a close-up it is blue, when it cuts to the US Marshall entering the room it is red again, then when it cuts back to a close-up of Tricia and Casey the balloon is blue again.  »

Quotes

[first lines]
Officer at Leaving Ceremony: Army Rangers have a proud history. Since the 1700s, Rangers have led the way in every major confrontation in which the United States has been involved. You men are a credit to that fine heritage, and I'm sorry to see you go. But you've served your country well...
