Space Cowboys/Trivia

• Actor Allusion:
  • Played with. The four leads have played Badass characters in other films (most notably Clint) and here they're a team of badasses.
  • The scene in which Maryann the chimp tries to shake Frank's hand could be a reference to Every Which Way But Loose, in which Clint Eastwood starred alongside a chimpanzee.
• All-Star Cast: Almost all the lead actors are played by highly-skilled veteran actors who have been in a number of notable pictures, which could explain why the chemistry between them is excellent.
• Technology Marches On: The reason for the entire plot. Corvin is chosen for the mission because of his familiarity with several outdated computer systems and programming languages.
