Trivia
The storm drain car chase scene was shot in a large air duct tunnel below the four main bores of the Fort McHenry Road Tunnel in Baltimore, MD. Fort McHenry permits Interstate 95 to pass under Baltimore's harbor. The air duct is only accessible from the Tunnel's Admin Building by stairs and a small elevator, so the cars in the scene were chopped into several sections, taken three levels below, reassembled and painted. Once filming was complete they were disassembled once again and removed from the duct. The water was hosed in from a nearby sprinkler main. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: During the fire in the hotel and subsequent ambulance ride that is supposed to be set in DC, the responding engine has a Baltimore City Fire patch, and the paramedic is wearing a Maryland Paramedic patch. See more »Quotes
