- TriviaIn October 2015, John Carpenter won a plagiarism case against Luc Besson over 'Lockout' proving clear similarities to 1997. Escape de Nueva York (1981) and Escape de Los Ángeles (1996). A French court ruled that enough similar distinctive elements from both Carpenter's films were borrowed to merit a sanction.
- ErroresIt 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.
- Citas
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.
- Versiones alternativasAvailable 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.

Yet, it is not boring, quite the contrary. It has a very special 'Je ne sais quoi' to it. I so wanted to use that in a review for which I want to apologies to you.
I enjoyed it more than most films I have seen this year. Perplexed to explain what makes it unique without spoiling it for you and considering my first sentence, I will say after much reflection, seeing it with very low expectations would be the best. It will allow you from the start to get into the world the directors are painting for you, couple that with a possession of a twisted sense of humor and you will find a gem of a movie in there.
In short, for what it is, it is a gem.
