Did You Know?
| Trivia | Tony Scott was originally slated to direct. But the studio balked because at the time they felt he was not accomplished enough to pull off the project. He would go on to direct the second adaptation Man on Fire (2004). See more » |
| Goofs | One contributor mentioned the name "Lupita". Of course that was Dakota Fanning's character name in Tony Scott's movie. The character in this movie is called "Samantha" or "Sam" played by Jade Malle. See more » |
