Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Kathryn Bigelow found that no existing camera system could accomplish the shots necessary for the point-of-view sequences, so the research division of Lightstorm Entertainment (the company of writer/producer James Cameron, who was Bigelow's husband at the time) spent a full year designing and fabricating a special camera for the production. Weighing only 8 pounds, the 35mm camera literally fit in the palm of the hand and featured interchangeable lenses, remote follow focus, and video assist (necessary since the camera had no viewfinder). The camera was then mounted on a SteadiCam-style portable rig, which gave the camera stability and mobility similar to the human eye.
- GoofsWhen Lenny is skating with Faith, he falls and you can see his bare right knee. Briefly later, he is on the steps removing a right knee pad.
- Alternate versionsThe older special edition laserdisc and DVD are the same. Both formats feature two deleted scenes and other extras. The solitary difference is that the laserdisc contains the Skunk Anansie music video for "Selling Jesus", which was not included on the US DVD release. The only DVD to feature the music video is the German special edition.

Featured review
Great sci-fi thriller that hasn't aged badly
Besides the amusing "futuristic" 1999 this movie hasn't aged badly at all. It is a still a great sci-fi thriller and also benefits from very good acting performances.
