Trivia
Lynn Swann's (Super Bowl MVP) touchdown can be seen from behind the end zone in one of the scenes.
Quotes
Man flying the helicopter:
We can't shoot it down. It's filled with helium.
Major David Kabakov:
We - are - going - to - kill - the - pilot.
Goofs
The same game-winning touchdown is shown twice: the 64-yard touchdown pass and over-the-shoulder catch by Lynn Swann is shown before Kabakov kills Lander and Dahlia, then it is shown from a different angle several minutes later just before the blimp crashes into the stadium (obviously meant to be a separate play, but it's the same touchdown).
