• 450 snakes were used including one 22-foot-long Burmese python.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When the Flynn shoots the snake at the end, blood sprays all over his buddy's shirt, covering the writing he had on it. But when he slides to the end of the escape slide, blood is only on his shoulder area, and the writing on his shirt, is clearly visible. Then when he is helped off, and laid on the ground, the blood is back, all over the writing.
• Movie Goof (revealing mistake): The snake that is handled and put into the microwave is a Scarlet King Snake. It isn't poisonous, but looks like a Coral Snake. It is often used in snake movies in shots where actors have to handle snakes, or shoot close ups with snakes.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): The controllers use the phrase "nineteen-thousand feet". This is incorrect as any altitude starting at eighteen thousand feet is referred to as a "Flight level". Thus he would say "Flight level one-niner-zero". Flight levels are used at these altitudes to eliminate altimeter differences due to local barometric pressure setting changes.
