    • Trivia
      In October 2015, John Carpenter won a plagiarism case against Luc Besson over 'Lockout' proving clear similarities to Escape from New York (1981) and Escape from L.A. (1996). A French court ruled that enough similar distinctive elements from both Carpenter's films were borrowed to merit a sanction.

      It is incredibly unlikely that a space station would so quickly acquire dangerous orbital decay without performing major maneuvers. The ISS crashing into the station suggests the space prison had a higher orbit than ISS, but orbital decay is a very slow process. The ISS can go months without needing an orbital boost as the drag at that altitude is very minimal. Skylab orbited for five years after its final mission without any orbital boosts.
    • Quotes

      Emilie Warnock: Who are you? Who sent you?

      Snow: Your old man did.

      Emilie Warnock: My dad. What did he say?

      Snow: Well, I didn't get to meet him personally. He kind of delegated your rescue. He had a big conference on the corn surplus.

      Emilie Warnock: You're kidding me?

      Snow: No. No, apparently, we should all be eating more corn.

      Emilie Warnock: About my father?

      Snow: Oh, yeah. I made that other bit up.

      Emilie Warnock: Did he have a message for me?

      Snow: Yes. You are adopted.

    • Alternate versions
      Available on DVD in a Unrated version that restores violence cuts for a PG-13 rating. The Unrated version is the only version included on Retail DVD/Blu-ray. But Redbox and Rental versions still carry the PG-13 cut. For instance in the Unrated cut, one can clearly see Snow shooting a person in the mouth which is not shown in the PG-13 cut.

    Die Hard on a Space Station

    Come on people, watch it for what it is. Yes it's silly, it's supposed to be. It looks great and slides down easy. Guy Pearce is a blast to watch as he struts and mouths off throughout the film in a manner I haven't seen since Bruce Willis in the Last Boy Scout. This is an 80's action movie at it's core set in space. One of failures of recent action movies trying to be an 80's action flick is that they forgot that the hero needs to go up against a memorable villain. In this we get 2 brothers that actually deliver the goods. Add in a fancy Star Wars inspired ending and you have fine Friday night escape.

    Don't think too hard and enjoy the trip.
