Unrealistic.


Did anyone else cringe during the scene where Cutler and the redneck cop was keeping pace with the airplane on the runway? Anyone who has ever been on a plane know that when a plane is about to take off, it be moving and no car is gonna keep pace.

That's why it's a movie and not something we saw on the 11:00 news.

Yeah... me too. Especially considering that Lake Lucille Airport was supposed to be a small General Aviation airport. For a Tristar to take off from a runway that short it would have needed full power from the get go, and couldn't have casually taxied down the runway for so long. But what the hell... like Tiff said: It's not a news item, it's an action movie. ;)

Yeh, the implausibilities were ridiculous. 1) The huge aircraft having the room to land and slow down on a runway at a small private airport. 2) The whole fairgrounds situation, and 3) the most ridiculous one of all, Snipes getting back on board through the landing gear from a speeding car as the plane takes off.

Oh, and I forgot, 4) After kicking Payne off the plane midair, the door remaining open with all the passengers just standing around without being sucked off the plane or freezing to death. Isn't the outside temperature at 30,000 ft around -40F? Also, at that height with the door open, the oxygen in the cabin would be sucked out. The oxygen at that height is very thin, too thin to be able to breathe properly. And then that old lady standing there going "whoop! whoo!, who!" just made that scene even worse yet. And with the door open midair, would anyone even be able to hear each other talk with the noise from the engines? Think of how loud a plane sounds taking off while standing half a mile away. How loud would it be standing 40 feet away without a closed door to block the noise? In reality, the passengers would've gone deaf, froze, suffacated, and been sucked out and fallen 30,000 feet to their death.
