Trivia

The movie's most breathtaking scenes were shot in the Cortina d'Ampezzo Dolomites mountains. The bridge scene was shot on Monte Cristallo - ferrata Ivano Dibona. The crew stayed in Cortina more than 3 months. Further filming took place in Durango, Colorado. The credits of the film also thank the Ute Tribe for filming in the Ute Mountain reservation.

Renny Harlin: [Finland] one of the parachutes looks like the Finnish flag.

Share this

The parachute that the base-jumper opens, on his escape from the villains, features the design of the Finnish flag, Renny Harlin's native country (he features the Finnish flag in most of his movies).

Goofs

As the plane is crash-landing a rock clearly takes of the starboard wing and the rear third of the fuselage along with both engines which are behind as the forward section slides away. Seconds later as the fuselage is sliding to a stop we can hear the engines loudly "winding down" as if they were still attached.

There is a camera shadow on Frank as he approaches Crystal lying in the snow.

Share this

As the jet approaches low over the mountains, with its shadow just beneath it, the shadow moves across the ground, and onto the plane itself.

What are the differences between the British BBFC-15 version and the uncut US version?

To put it simply, the British version of this Stallone classic has been heavily censored. 22 scenes were altered and nearly 80 seconds of action sequences are missing. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
