** Matrix's daughter would have been dead within ''seconds'' of him being spotted by Sully at the mall if this film was set in the late 1990s. Also Matrix could've called General Kirby on a cellphone once he got off the plane.

Shout Out\'s not trivia.


* ShoutOut: At least three of Arnie's lines are things he said in ''TheTerminator''. His one-word answer, "Wrong," before blasting away his first [[{{Mooks}} mook]], his CatchPhrase "I'll be back" (of course), and the line, "Fuck you, asshole!" This was his first big movie after ''The Terminator'' and his first big movie with more than five lines.

** The final fight between Matrix and Bennett was supposed to take place on an island that was in the middle of a naval exercise between the USMC and the USN (actually referenced by the radio chatter when Matrix steals the seaplane). Unfortunately, the film used up its special effects budget killing hundreds of mooks.
