Wissenswertes
Sir Anthony Hopkins had a brush with death during filming in Alberta. He was taking painkillers for a neck problem. He fell in a river, and didn't feel how cold he was becoming until he began to suffer from hypothermia. He had to be rushed to the hospital to be treated.

Patzer
When discussing Kodiak bears, Styles says that they are highly aggressive, readily attacking and killing people without provocation. In fact, Kodiak bears are very shy, and when they encounter human beings, they typically withdraw. (Attacks do occur, but they are quite rare and almost never fatal.)

Zitate
Stephen: A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Crazy Credits
Just before the end credits start rolling, a caption appears on the screen: "Twentieth Century Fox and the producer wish to thank Bart the Bear and his trainer Doug Seus, for their contribution to this film."

What One Man Can Do, Another Can Do

The Edge is an original movie. There have been movies with stranded people, fighting for survival and movies with jealous lovers trying to kill the rich spouse, but how often has there been such an adventurous story combining them both? It seems Hopkins has befriended Bart the Bear with multiple appearances with the new star. The scenery in Alaska is magnificent. It's almost as if the viewer is there on the plane. I wonder if Charles Morse did start a new life.
