Notable Quotes:
“They’re gonna save us to death!â€
Lessons learned:
If your being chased by police and you drive into a tunnel then your automatically a genius.
Gigantic fans were not made for climbing on or around.
The head of a sneaker company is more qualified to lead people through a flooding tunnel than an ex-emergency medical chief who has done this type of thing before.
No matter how hard said medical chief tries to save youâ€"he hasn’t tried hard enough.
Wooden staircases and water don’t mix.
I've always liked Daylight.
It does do a good job of creating that claustrophobic closed in feeling of being trapped.
The scene where Stallone has to manuever his way down through the fans is definitely still a nailbiter after all these years.
