Trivia:
Jack's (Dwayne Johnson) cab number is the same as the year for the original Escape to Witch Mountain (1975).
more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When talking about the Mustang on Jack's key chain which is hooked to the key in the ignition in the RV. The RV isn't Jack's, so it shouldn't even have been used at that time. However, given the sentimental meaning behind the key chain (as discussed in film) there's no reason he couldn't have removed it from his own key chain before handing the keys to the cab over.

I think its nice that Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann have cameos in the film as a waitress and sheriff, they were the kids in the 1975 original. I remember my mother taking me to see it when I was seven. This is an all right film but the original was so much better. Dwayne Johnson (formally known as the Rock)takes over Eddie Albert's part as the earthman who befriends the two young aliens, the difference is that Eddie Albert could act a lot better! One thing I have to say about this film is that its certainly not boring! I would have loved to have seen the special effects budget. It has enough explosions and car chases for three films.
