Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Christopher Walken's character's full name is Cornelius Bernard Hatcher. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the final fight scene between Beck and Hatcher, you notice that Hatcher has no bullet wounds on his shirt sleeves. When Mariana shoots Hatcher in his right arm, he grasps his bicep. However, the "bullet holes" in his shirt appear near the elbow. Also, Beck shoots the pistol from Hatcher's right hand without hitting his body. In subsequent scenes during Hatcher's final dialog, Hatcher's shirt has an identical wound on his left arm, with no one having shot him. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Emeril Lagasse (on radio): I just love mushrooms. One of my favorites, or as I call it, "the king of mushrooms," is the porcini. Now stop right there. Don't be alarmed. There's a lot of confusion in this country between porcini, the Italian name, and cèpes, which is the French name. They're fat and they're earthy. Now the porcini is most often seen dried here in this country. And they would always be labeled "dried porcinis," not "dried cèpes." OK? They are very, very, very flavorful.

familiar but good-natured and funny, 30 September 2003
Author: Special-K88

Combination action, adventure, broad comedy, and buddy movie has The Rock well-cast as a "retrieval expert" fed up with his occupation and looking for a way out. He agrees to one last job in which he travels to a remote village in South America to find his employer's delinquent son, but in the midst of his search he tangles with the town's greedy, megalomaniacal boss, embittered citizens, and gets caught up in a search to find a rare and priceless artifact. Engaging, high-energy action scenes, enthusiastic performances, and moments of genuine humor make this a blast from start to finish. Formulaic to be sure, but lots of fun with Walken adding a hilarious presence as Hatcher. ***
