    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The character of Jess Crossman was originally written as a man. After the character was made a woman and Yancy Butler was cast in the role, the filmmakers wanted to remove the part where Nessip hits her after she drops him out of the plane. However, Butler insisted that the "hitting" scene be left in, and it was.
    • Goofs
      When one of team has a chute that fails to open he falls to the ground much faster than the rest of the team whose chutes opened as expected. When he hits the water, everyone on the ground immediately runs to his aid, including Jessie who should still be up in the air hanging from a parachute.
    • Quotes
      • Jessie Crossman: People probably told you that Jessie Crossman was the only person skilled enough to jump from a 747.
      • Pete Nessip: Well, the actual phrase used was "dick brain".
    • Alternate versions
      All UK versions were originally cut for violence by the BBFC.This cut version was released in Europe and Australia. The footage missing includes:
      • The stamp to Swoop's face has been removed in the toilet scene.
      • The sound effects in the ensuing fight have been reduced in volume.
      • Kara having a photocopier machine lid slammed down upon her head has also been cut to remove the second shot of her bloodied face on the glass.
      • When we see the photocopies of her dead face coming out of the machine, the number of sheets that come out has been reduced.
