  • It was an awesome big-screen movie that is not the same on any TV; a planned anniversary theater re-release was lost when the pandemic hit, and Jurassic Park is similar.
  • A Tarantino-hosted Tony Scott marathon at the New Beverly is proposed for when theaters reopen.
  • The man fixing the radio to save the world is the Bronx Tale actor Lillo Brancato, whose real life did not work out as well.
  • Hackman pulling a gun on Viggo, then switching targets once he remembers only Viggo knows the code, never sat right and should have come up in the report with Robards; the others seem fine with it.
  • Hackman going overtly racist at the tail end is questioned as a choice, especially with Black sailors aboard.
  • Gandolfini's Dougherty is probably egging him on; Gandolfini plays a greased-up scumbag in every Tony Scott movie, like a wrestling character.
