Quotes:

  • 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...
     
  • Carter: As far as I know, this shit can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest fucker 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]
     
  • Bludworth: There are no accidents, no coincidences, and no escapes.
     
  • Billy Hitchcock: Carter, you dick!
     

Trivia:

  • When the students are boarding the airplane, Alex looks down from the jetway and sees a luggage cart with the number 666 on it.
     
  • Many of the props contain references to assassinated presidents or almost-presidents: Miss Lewton's leaking coffee cup had an inscription for Abraham High, and Carter Horton's car had a license plate beginning with the letters "RFK". The plane takes off from "JFK"-Airport.
     
  • After the main characters are removed from the plane, Billy is only shot from the rear, showing the name on his jersey, that of suspense master Alfred Hitchcock.
     
  • During the opening credits, all of the deaths in the movie are foreshadowed. There is a hanging doll, a guillotine, and a picture of a knife in someone's chest.
     
  • When Alex and Clear's baby is born, the time of birth is 9.25. The same number is coming back several times in the movie, e.g. the time of the departure of the flight.
