Richie's gone postal, man.
Goofs
When the crew are trapped in the eye of the typhoon there are storm clouds towering on the horizon, as one would expect. A few minutes later, while still in the eye and boarding the Russian ship, the sky is perfectly clear as far as the eye can see.
Alternate Versions
The DVD contains three deleted scenes:
- a discussion between Foster and Richie, in which Richie says he doesn't like Foster aboard a ship, which is followed by a discussion of Hiko's tattoos. Then Hiko tells Baker about his ancestors and his greatest fear;
- an extended version of the scene where Foster and Baker flee using the rocket motors; and
- the original entrance of Everton into the Antenna Control room, which was changed in the theatrical release because the studio felt that adding computer generated robotic legs would cost too much and because the test audiences didn't like the line "It's me: Bob."
