Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.
- GoofsDrillers would never use steel cutters on pipe in a hole with known gas pocket/gas residue. Instead, in a situation with known gas pocket/gas residue, brass cutters are used because they don't spark and therefore wouldn't run the risk of igniting the residual gas from gas pocket.
- Crazy creditsPortions of the video of Grace Stamper and A.J. Frost's wedding are shown during the final credits.
- Alternate versionsCriterion's two-DVDs version features the longer director's cut with added dialogue and footage, including a scene between Harry Stamper and his father (played by Lawrence Tierney.) A second DVD with supplemental material is included, with additional deleted scenes, outtakes and bloopers.

Shut your brain off and enjoy the ride
Typical Michael Bay movie, lots of action and things explode really for no reason. It's still a fun flick. So many actors in it.
