16. The movie really is much better than people give it credit for.

My understanding is that George Cosmatos was only involved peripherally and that he basically "ghost-directed" it after the original director bailed and Kurt Russell and the screenwriter, Kevin Jarre, took over. This makes sense to me, because although the actors are all terrific, the dialog they're speaking is REALLY GREAT. It's one of those movies that you feel like you have to watch multiple times just to make sure you're not missing any of what people are saying.

I'm glad to see so many other fans of this film on this board.
