Quotes
James Cole:
Jose - psst! Jose, what's going on?
Jose:
Bad news, man
James Cole:
Volunteers?
Jose:
Yeah. And they said your name.
Jose:
Hey, maybe they'll give you a pardon, man.
James Cole:
Yeah, that's why none of the volunteers come back. They all get a pardon.
Goofs
The scientists of the future should already have had Cole's last message from the airport before they sent him. They played back Dr. Railly's message "before" she had left it in the chronology of the movie, so they could also have had from the beginning all messages that anyone would leave on the secret machine at any time. However, the scientists explain that the process is very time consuming ("one word at a time") and that they had only deciphered Dr. Railly's message a few days ago, so they might not have gotten Cole's message yet.
Crazy Credits
The symbol of the 12 Monkeys provides the backdrop for the opening and closing credits.
