Things To Watch For:

3-min. Will you two shut up and get back to work?

5-min. Coffee?…..um, thanks anyway Mattie.

10-min. Brat needs a good old fashioned over the knee spanking on the bare butt.

14-min. Don’t give up your day job Mattie…..

21-min. Hey, no hitchhikers!

35-min. ladies and gentlemenâ€"your american taxdollars at work.
37-min. Spin that wheel! Hehehehehehehehe!

47-min. RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A HATCH AND A CAR!

67-MIN. Indiania Jones was ripped off.

74-min. See this why no one likes you Mattieâ€"when he says forget it, FORGET IT!

91-MIN. That doesn’t look very good Sly with your head up Christ’s crotch and all…

106-min. Anyone else believe she woulda survived a wild rapids ride like that?




Notable Quotes:

“They’re gonna save us to death!”



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.
