Big Trouble/YMMV

• Complete Monster - Snake, to the point where he completely kills any comedy.
  • Not so much in the movie, where he still takes hostages but remains dimwitted enough that Jenny feels comfortable enough to snark at him.

Snake: Do we want "Arrivals" or "Departures"? Well, we're arriving, but then we're going to depart for the Bahamas...
Jenny: This is a joke, right?
Snake: Don't make fun of me!

• Funny Aneurysm Moment - The reason the movie got such a limited release was that the original date it was to be set in theaters came not long after the 9/11 terrorist attack. Needless to say, everyone felt a movie that centers its climax around a bomb being snuck on a plane wasn't so good and quietly got it released at a later date.
  • In the book, Penultimate Inc. built a jail whose security system was so haphazard that the whole thing opened during a lightning storm, freeing nearly all the prisoners. Then this happened. In Florida.
• Moral Event Horizon - The (book only) scene where Arthur, without a qualm, offers his wife and teenaged stepdaughter to Snake.
