| 1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the second bar scene, when things begin to get tense, a little person goes running across the bar, and outside. Even the ''characters'' in the movie pause to watch this play out, there's a {{beat}}, and then they just move on as if nothing happened. |
| 2 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Christopher Walken owns this movie. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Although a quiet performer at the box office, the film was well-received critically (70% at Rotten Tomatoes), with pundits like Creator/RogerEbert praising Dwayne Johnson as proving himself to be more than just a novelty act in the movies a la Hulk Hogan, but rather a capable actor who was more than worthy of being the next great action star. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 5 | ** The "Tooth Fairy" speech. [[Film/TheToothFairy It's a little uncanny.]] |
| 6 | ** The movie was released internationally under the name ''Welcome to the Jungle''. Not only would Wrestling/DwayneJohnson later star in ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'', but Creator/SonyPictures, the company responsible for for producing ''Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle'', even handled international distribution for ''The Rundown'' (except for Japan, as Creator/{{Universal}} apparently retained rights there via United International Pictures) as well. And Johnson would later star in ''Film/JungleCruise''. |
| 7 | * OneSceneWonder: Manito, the martial artist guerrilla fighter played by Ernie Reyes Jr. |
| 8 | * TearJerker: |
| 9 | ** When Beck learns that Hatcher's men have killed almost all of the rebels, including Manito. Someone whom he had formed a friendship with. Beck takes it rather personally, now determined to destroy Hatcher's operation. |
