Terry Sheridan: You can break my wrist, but I'm still gonna kiss you.
Lara: I'm laughing at the fact I used to find you charming.
Terry: I am charming.

Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Ciaran Hinds, Chris Barrie
Continuity mistake: In the lab in Hong Kong, Lara is held down on a table covered in broken glass. Her head is pushed around, she is shown grimacing with pain and blood is shown on the glass. When she stands up, her face is unmarked. (01:04:50 - 01:05:40)
Trivia: A man actually doubles for Angelina Jolie during the "squirrel suit" jump sequence - he is one of the two inventors of the suit, the other doubling for Gerard Butler.
Question: Exactly how plausible was the jump from the skyscraper that Terry and Lara did with their suits? With those very small "wings" or whatever the proper name for those yellow extensions is that were attached to their suits, in reality wouldn't they have plummeted to the ground instead of gliding away?
