Quotes:

  • Bludworth: There are no accidents, no coincidences, and no escapes.
     
  • Billy Hitchcock: Carter, you dick!
     
  • Carter: As far as I know, this s**t can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest f**ker in the world, because you're still NEXT.
     
  • Billy Hitchcock: There they go, here we stay. [As he watches the plane take off and then explode]
     
  • Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we believe it's in a far and distant future. Not to have any connections with the day already began, or that death could arrive this same afternoon...
     

Trivia:

  • Before his death Tod's name is torn from the magazine, Tod is also the German word for death.
     
  • The neon sign that swings down and kills Carter at the end of the movie can be seen to read 180, which is the number of the Paris flight in the beginning of the movie.
     
  • Much of the news footage shown is actual footage from the July 1996 explosion and crash of TWA Flight 800 off East Moriches, Long Island, New York.
     
  • Another reference to Hitchcock: the shot of the showerhead when Tod gets strangled. Identical to the Psycho shower murder.
     
  • When the students are boarding the airplane, Alex looks down from the jetway and sees a luggage cart with the number 666 on it.
