    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Big Trouble marks Sofía Vergara's entry into American cinema and television.
    • Goofs
      The two F-16s fly with their gear down. When scrambled, an F-16 pilot will retract his gear as soon as the plane is airborne. This is not an error. Jet aircraft fly much faster than the turboprop passenger plane. In order to stay behind the plane, they would be configured to fly as slowly as possible, thus lowering the landing gear to increase drag.
    • Quotes
      • [Snake and Eddie are riding in the hi-jacked police car; and Eddie is coming up to the two main Airport signs]
      • Eddie: Okay, we gotta pick a road. Arrivals or departures? We're arriving, but then we're departing. Which one, Snake?
      • Snake: What do you think?
      • Jenny Herk: I think you guys should turn yourselves in and plead not guilty by reason of stupidity.
      • Snake: [looks at the signs] Departures.
    • Alternate versions
      DVD includes a condensed 7 minute 49 second-long edition of the film focusing on scenes containing important plot points.
