Revealing mistake: When the little girl runs towards her grandmother and knocks another old woman out of the way, the other woman crashes into the wall of the terminal and it wobbles, showing it's a thin set wall. (00:14:35)
Visible crew/equipment: When the passengers find out about the bomb and Striker tackles the man who has it, when the briefcase with the bomb in it goes in the air, you can see a string attached to it to pull it up. (00:59:25)
Trivia: Continuing a joke from the first movie, where every exterior shot of the jet is accompanied by the drone of a prop plane, the exterior shots of the shuttle feature the sound of a jet engine, even in space.
Trivia: When the shuttle takes off, a piece of music from Battlestar Galactica is played - specifically the music from the Nova of Magadon sequence in Saga of a Star World. The navigator is played by Kent McCord who played Captain Troy on Galactica 1980.
Clerk: Do you swear on the Constitution of the United States to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Jive Man: Ain't no thing.
Defense Attorney: Would you describe, in your own words, what happened that night?
Jive Man: Check it, bleed. Bro was on! Didn't trip. But the folks was freakin', man. Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bones, Homes. So Blood hammered out and jammed jet ship. Tightened that bad sucker inside the runway like a mother. Shit.
McCroskey : Would somebody please tell me what in Sam Hill a woman is doing up there in charge of that ship?
Jacobs: Well, maybe she's got her ship together.
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
