Anecdotes
John Malkovich was unhappy during production because the script was being rewritten virtually every day and he had no idea how his character was going to turn out.

Gaffes
(at around 5 mins) The judge that sentences Poe claims that Poe does not have the same right of defense because he is combat trained. While it is a common myth that people trained in combat, such as soldiers, martial artists, and boxers, have to register themselves as dangerous weapons, this is completely untrue. All people are held to the same standard regarding self defense, regardless of their combat training.

Citations
["Sweet Home Alabama" plays in background, to Poe and Baby-O]
Garland Greene: Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.

Versions alternatives
In the Finnish DVD version the death of Cyrus is slightly edited. The scene cuts away right before the rock-smashing weight hits his head.

Solid action movie...

"Con Air" is just one of those action movies that was great back in the day when it was first out and still holds its own today. And that is even despite the fact that it is a Nicolas Cage movie.

The story is quite straight forward, a plane transporting the most dangerous and deadly of criminals gets hijacked by the very same prisoners it was supposed to transport. Amongst the prisoners is Cameron Poe who is on his way home to his family and tries his best to see to it that it happens.

There is a lot of action in the movie, almost from start to end, and it nicely choreographed and executed. But there is also a lot of really interesting and detailed characters in the movie.

But even more impressively is the ensemble of cast which is nothing short of amazing. And "Con Air" holds some impressive performances by John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi in particular.

"Con Air" has a lot of one-liners, of course, throughout the movie. You can't have a proper action movie without those. And then there is Nicolas Cage's hair, are you kidding me? "Con Air" is well-worth a place in any movie fan's or collector's collection.

I will end my review here, before the bunny gets it...
