Trivia

Near the beginning while the PST news report is running, the scroll at the bottom is either ridiculous or reflects the politics of the writers/producers and also in one case contradicts itself. As follows: Middle East Crisis Escalates, Stock Prices Surge - Pessimism Ebbing, Economy Sluggish-Gross National Product Flatlining, 27 Foot Great White Shark caught off Barrier Reef, Polar Ice Caps Melt-Global Warming to Blame.

Goofs

Continuity: The helicopter with the commandos crashes very close to the execution of the prisoner (midnight). Yet, an FBI-agent later reports that the helicopter crashed "around 7:30". See more »
