Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFred Dekker did uncredited re-writes on the script. When he was brought on, the script began in the future and Spartan was introduced when he was brought out of suspended animation. Dekker suggested that this movie open with a prologue set in 1996 to showcase Spartan and Phoenix in their natural environment, saying that "If you don't show Kansas, Oz isn't all that special."
- GoofsTowards the beginning, when gasoline is everywhere and Simon holds the torch close to the ground, it should ignite. It's the fumes that ignite, not the gasoline itself.
