Trivia:

The scene where Gates and Deegan both fall off the waterfall was inspired by the Sherlock Holmes story "The Final Problem". During a major showdown Holmes and his arch-nemesis, Moriarty, both men ended up falling off a waterfall.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: As the three escaped prisoners begin to cross the river, one has hand-cuffs on. As they exit the river on the far side, he no longer has them on. As the prisoners climb the hill on the far-side of the river, the prisoner has hand-cuffs on again (shown by the way he is holding his arms).

Quotes:

Tracker Lewis Gates: You wanna go back?
Professor Lillian Sloan: Yes. I'm an anthropologist, not Daniel Boone.

A great modern times western

This movie reminds me a lot of "Lost Horizon". The scenery is beautiful and anyone that's ever been up in that area can attest to it. It's both a chick flick and a guy's movie because of the great mix of emotion, excitement and action. A couple of things in the movie are a little hard to swallow, but so are a lot of things in James Bond or Indiana Jones pic's, and it never stopped anyone from liking them. Tape it or rent it if you haven't seen it, you won't be disappointed.
