    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During their DVD commentary, Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank reveal that the cast members ad-libbed several memorable lines in the script. Don Cheadle wrote the line, "in a situation like this, there's a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out."
    • Goofs
      If Karen Sisco had fired a gun in the enclosed volume of a car trunk, she probably would have blown out her ear drums.
    • Quotes

      Jack Foley: It's like seeing someone for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, 'What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?' What if, what if... it may only happen a few times in your life.

      Karen Sisco: Or once.

      Jack Foley: [softly] Or once.

    • Alternate versions
      The laserdisk/DVD versions contain the following deleted scenes.
      • The original trunk scene, much much longer with extra dialog, different lighting and more wriggling.
      • Moselle is teaching Snoopy's dog "Tuffy" to do tricks with a Frisbee while Snoopy is watching boxing on TV. Glenn calls to tell Snoopy about the Ripley job and then steals a car from a gas station.
      • In a bizarre scene in the Adams Hotel room, Buddy and Jack talk about the feeling you get when you take a bath.
      • Karen gets a lecture from her dad about relationships while he fishes ocean debris out of his jetty.
      • Extended scene of Karen questioning Adele.
      • In the yard at Lompoc, Ripley talks to Foley about fish.
      • Glenn, Snoopy, Kenneth and White Boy Bob talk in the car after the transsexual murder.
      • We see the rather gruesome transsexual murder scene. Ray Cruz talks to Karen who spots Glenn's broken glasses on the floor.
      • Ripley is released from Lompoc and we see him packing stuff from his cell and saying goodbye to Foley.
      • After the job "interview" at Ripley's office building, Foley smashes a large fish tank with a paperweight shortly before being thrown out by two security guards.
      • Foley and Buddy talk in the hotel after Foley has returned from his "socializing" with Karen
      • Putting ski masks on in the van before the Ripley job. White Boy Bob tells a story about leaving his wallet behind at a break in.

    Good Little Movie
    Ah, 1998… Bill Clinton was still in the White House, the Gulf War had no sequel, gas was under $2.00 a gallon, and a kinda-known actress was in her pre-J. Lo/Jenny from the Block/Bennifer/media whore phase.

    Back when she used to have a little (now she has a lot), Jennifer Lopez was actually enjoyable in Steven Soderbergh's 'Out of Sight.' I saw this in the theater when it came out and remember thinking it was one of the better films I'd seen that year. I watched it again last night on DVD, and I have to say that it still holds up. Clooney is finally given a worthy vehicle, and he and Lopez have actual, undeniable chemistry on the screen. The supporting players (especially the incomparable Don Cheadle) are perfectly cast. Soderbergh effortlessly knocks this one out of the park.

    One critic gave the film two and a half out of four stars and claimed 'Out of Sight' was in need of a 'shot of adrenaline,' but I have no idea where he's coming from. When you think of all the bad movies that are released in any given year, you'd think you'd appreciate something like this.
