If you are about to operate on someone never tell them its 12, or else they will kill you

On the other hand if you are the FBI and you are planning to capture someone, don't plan it to happen at 12 on the dot, do it 5 minutes before that or else the person you are chasing will know.

Getting plastic surgery without any pain medication is possible and not feeling pain has been done and will be done again

Jumping out of 3 story buildings is one of the best ways to escape and running full speed afterwards always works

Water Trucks are the best way to stop a terrorist

If you want the 2 FBI agents killed next to you, make sure when the flight attendant comes around you order your steak "extra bloody"

Hitting a punching bag at night can bring back painful memories

Wesley Snipes is a sly cunning black man who will try and make you believe things

If the terrorists are letting you off the plane don't try and cut in line

Shooting guns on airplanes won't make holes through the paper thin walls sucking air out like a vacuum cleaner

Oxygen masks make excellent choking devices

- The next time someone puts a gun to your head, you do exactly what they say...unless if the man happens to be Charles Rane.

- John Cutter's advice in winning roulette: "Always bet on black!"

- Sly Delvecchio understands black things.

- John Cutter would make a good Republican.

- A golf putter makes an excellent clubbing weapon.

- It's apparently easy to escape custody from hick sheriff's deputies by simply kicking their asses.

- Charles Rane never had any toys...his father thought it would warp his sense of values.

- Rane has testicles of steel even after getting them punched and kicked at.

- It's possible to execute martial arts moves in a crowded jet airliner while in flight.

I think I saw on Mythbusters that the thing about if you shoot a gun on an airplane it will cause a hole that really disrupts the flight in a serious way is a myth. In other words, I have the impression that planes can withstand a few small bullet holes and still be totally safe. I could be wrong, but I thought they tested this on Mythbusters.

An L-1011 is a jumbo jet. Just not as jumbo as, say, a 747.

A few more?

- There's always someone down in the galley
- Don't try to stop a robber the first time
- No one knows better than Sly Delvecchio what Lisa meant to John Cutter
- Cutter knows *beep* who said they saw Elvis in the morgue
- Who's in charge? Rane is
- Always trust your first impressions
- Never say "it's going to be an interesting flight" cos it will be - and not in a good way
- If a terrorist with long curly hair helps hijacks your plane it's your choice as to whether you shut up or be killed
- A sheriff's car can easily keep up with the speed of a taxiing airplane
- You say "For-zjay", not "Forget". It's French
- If you're a terrorist, fairgrounds are not the best place to try to lose yourself in
- When an old geezer tells you his airport isn't big enough, don't listen to the silly old coot and land your massive jumbo yet anyway
- Cutter's not a former anything
- It's five miles to town, but walk it anyway

Cutter would kill himself if was in Chief Biggs' shoes.

-Cutter has to get off the sidelines and back into this game!

-John Cutter is played by Arseniooooooooo Hall.

-If you don't want to wear your seatbelts on a plane, you don't have to.

-Smooth jazz and action is a good combination.

[–] kamehameha1977 17 years ago

- White folks make lousy terrorists (i.e. Passenger 57, Die Hard, Nighthawks)

- Wesley Snipes (John Cutter) has no problem punching out a white woman (Elizabeth Hurley), especially if she a terrorist.

- If you are Wesley Snipes you will automatically make the security alarm at the airport go off.

- Wesley Snipes is invincible.

- Wesley Snipes working with country hicks do not mix.

- Don't trust Wesley Snipes with your wife's gun, because more than likely he will lose it.

-If you are running from police at a carnival and need a quick pick me up, find a teenage girl and eat some of her popcorn. Don't worry, she won't mind.

-Clowns are better than secret service agents. If you are at a circus or carnival, it will be almost impossible for a bad guy to shoot you in the back. A clown will always take the bullet.

-If when you and your child first get on a plane a man with handcuffs pretends to shoot you, sit quietly, wait until take-off and then ask if there is any danger.

-Wesley Snipes sets off alarms because "its a black thing", Delvechio must not be able to "Hear Jimmy" either.

I learned that:

Charles Rane is not insane!

When you are transporting the worlds most dangerous terrorist, just send 2 agents to guard him, and put him on a commercial air liner.

When you're a terrorist hijacking a plane, and hundreds of cops are watching the plane, it's extremely easy for you and your men to slip out and walk to a carnival without anyone noticing.

Charles Rane must have balls of steel!

-Trained snipers are probably gonna miss targets.

-Old Ladies on planes are like snakes.

-Small airfields have a 10,000ft. runway, ILS, and large landing lights.

-Con-Air doesn't exist.

-People who don't pay taxes are heroes on commercial jets.

-Planes leased from LTU look very ugly.

-If you point a gun to the pilot, no expression will be made.

-Fireworks are launched every night.

-No admission is needed for fairs.

-Criminals fly first class.

-Only hot terrorists survive.

-Plot Convenience is always waiting for you.

Old White ladies think all black people look the same.

[–] Jazzie3789 16 years ago

- Arsenio Hall, NOT Wesley Snipes played the character of John Cutter

- Death is delivered on a silver platter

- Kicking terrorists in the balls does not affect them in any way

- Strange men coming up and eating your popcorn is O-kay just as long as you're at the fair.

- Terrorists fly first class on commercial airflights

- If one of the flight attendants keep asking the terrorist if he wants anything don't suspect her in the least

- Old women should be avoided on planes

- Make sure an evil man who cares NOTHING about you gets back safely on a plane by killing two federal agents, then leaving you to fend off dozens of federal agents in which you ultimately die, for no reason at all

- Groups of people get together, hijack a plane, and kill people for absolutely NO reason at all

Where have all the good writers gone?

[–] EastNYBrooklyn1955 16 years ago

Wesley Snipes can't spell.

The Israelis have never been f-ed with.

They are flight attendants, not stewardesses.

Marti doubles for Angie Dickinson.

Drinks must be specified to be wet.

[–] Independence76 16 years ago

Plots don't exist on most commercial jets.

[–] wscott4106 16 years ago

Tom Sizemore is the only well-adjusted white man on the planet, as all others have the cultural sensitivity of a rabid terrier.

That acting was so bad, I think you gave me cancer.

[–] BlackCherry21 16 years ago

When the pilot says buckle in we're gonna have a rough landing, you don't actually have to buckle in, just hold yourself steady with your hand on your seat as Charles Rane does.

"Bruh Man, if you don't get your seagull sellin' a** outta here!" --Martin Payne

[–] EastNYBrooklyn1955 16 years ago

Next time, John Cutter should take his own advice and fly with El Al Airlines!

The pilot sh!+ a brick after the co-pilot was shot.

You can tell who you'll marry and divorce.

Rayne's father wouldn't qualify for father of the year.

When you're flying, never ask what time it is, as you'll get a get a stupid joke as a response.

Always flirt with a flight attendant (preferably a woman and not a she-male), you'll get served way before everyone else.

john cutter doesnt care for the angie dickinson b.s.

[–] snowfairy123183-1 16 years ago

It is perfectly safe to jump from a third floor window, and be unharmed, and able to run at full speed.

If you fall from the back of a plane that was just forced to land, deputies will instantly assume you're one of the terrorists and arrest you.

You can kick the butts of two deputies and not worry about being charged with assaulting a police officer.

All terrorists who hijack an airliner shall meet their demise in one way or another, unless you're a gorgeous female flight attendant, for which you'll just be arrested.

Secret decoder rings will not work if you leave them at home.

Deputies in Louisiana are dumb and racist.

[–] ColeThorn10 16 years ago

Charles Rane prefers black women.

To kill a terrorist on a ladder, it is best to do a barrell roll and come up shooting.

Kill the terroist on the plane or he is liable to knock off several FBI agents later in the movie.

Rane prefers to kill women during.

Director Hooks allowed to cast his father in the movie.

Hooks should have stuck with the White Shadow.

Rane should have bought a parachute.

[–] ColeThorn10 16 years ago

When terrorists control the plane, you do not have to wear your seatbelt during takeoff.

[–] snowfairy123183-1 16 years ago

If you're a sheriff, don't give your wife's gun to Cutter, or it'll be lost for good.
