Man, that is one heck of a synopsis. So detailed, it was as if I was watching it. Good job.

Yeah, went kinda overboard with it. Hee hee. Anyone who wants to trim it down go ahead. Cyberia23 21:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poster

The poster shows the head of the Statue of Liberty lying broken on the streets. I find this odd for two reasons, a) the statue remains intact in the film and b) if it had been broken, how the hell would it have ended up in Manhattan Jooler 02:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Artistic license. The Statue of Liberty is probably New York City's most recognizable landmark. Besides, have you ever seen a movie poster that showed things exactly as they appeared in the film? Corky842 06:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simpsons

[edit] In the Mood?

I'm not 100% on my big band music, but I swear that's not In the Mood.

[edit] Budget

In the intro, it says it had a $7 million budget, but the infobox only shows $6 million. Which is it? Corky842 06:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intro voiceover

The article says it's Debra Hill, but I seem to remember Jamie Lee Curtis did the whole opening voiceover...which one is it ? -- Mairosu

According to IMDb - Jamie Lee Curtis is listed as "Narrator/Computer Voice (uncredited)", BUT Debra Hill is also credited as "Computer (voice)". I thought the only "computer voice" was during the intro to the movie, but I guess there was other computer voices. Cyberia23 02:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

There is another use of computer voice when the computer is showing the trajectory, crash of Airforce 1, and the pod's trajectory as well. 16:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The director's commentary will likely clear this up. I'll check the disc as soon as I have the time.

[edit] Escape from Earth

According to Carpenter, this was never proposed and was only a rumour...so I removed it from the trivia section. Mcflytrap 17:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
