TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Director John McTiernan didn't make another movie after Basic for more than thirteen years. This was due to legal troubles related to illegally wiretapping a business associate and an ex-wife, which eventually led to 12 months of incarceration and the forced liquidation of his assets.

For director John McTiernan, the movie satisfied all the definitions of a true thriller. He said: "Something potentially horrific happened to a group of people who have completely vanished, and you follow a couple of people who are trying to figure it out, and it just keeps getting more and more dangerous, until, eventually, the whole thing turns upside down, and nothing that you thought was going on, was actually true."

Director John McTiernan really enjoyed working with John Travolta and Connie Nielsen on the fight scene. McTiernan said of this: "Take two cats, get a nice, dark closet, throw them in, and slam the door closed."

Screenwriter James Vanderbilt wanted to fool a certain type of moviegoer. He said: " . . . those who say 'I know who the killer is' in the first ten minutes."

James Vanderbilt said of this film's screenplay: "I always loved mysteries when I was a kid. I knew that someday I wanted to write one that had many twists, and had the audience guessing up until the last minute."

Popular Dialogues

"Styles: Osbourne's the closest thing we have to an in-house investigator. Hardy: And here you are going out of house... now, how does that make you feel, Jules? Osbourne: Hostile and uncooperative, sir. Hardy: Fantastic."

"Sgt. Nathan West: Those of you I find lacking will quit. And those of you who refuse to quit will have a training accident. This base suffers three training accidents a year. Unfortunate accidents that I will not hesitate to repeat if you cross me!"
