Trivia:

Actor Ice Cube stated on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993) that this film was originally intended as an Adam Sandler vehicle.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Nick discovers that the kids are off the train and it starts to move, he runs almost the entire length on the train yelling at them. When the camera shows the kids from the front you can see that the train tracks start about 30 feet behind them, not enough room for the entire train.

Quotes:

Nick Persons: [about the music Lindsey wants to listen to] If you listened to this stuff in my neighborhood, you'd get shot.
Lindsey Kingston: We don't live in the ghetto.

Respect

Lost your brain recently? You're still too smart to enjoy this.

I knew this movie was going to be bad before I sat down to watch it, and yet I allowed myself to do so anyway. Still, I found myself completely unprepared for the intense levels of suckage that were about to flow from the screen and speakers, corrupting my senses. I won't elaborate on why this film was so bad, as everything I wanted to say about it has been covered with great skill in the previous comment. So instead I'll just use this space to insult the people who enjoyed the film by calling them drooling fools.

Also, I know they kids in the film were only acting, but if I saw them in real life, I would still slap them across the face with whatever I had to hand.

Don't even bother with this film unless you are missing both sight and hearing. But even then I wouldn't risk it, you might feel the awfulness slowly creeping into your brain.
