    • Trivia
      Arnold Schwarzenegger: as a man in the club. This cameo was filmed the same day he filmed his appearance as the Terminator for the Super Bowl. It was completely unprepared. He happened onto the set that day and was asked to make a quick appearance in the film. Fans and movie enthusiasts often cite his saying "Have fun" to Dwayne Johnson as a passing of the torch to an action hero of the next generation.
    • Goofs
      Beck and Travis were attacked by African baboons.
    • Quotes

      Arnold Schwarzenegger: Have fun.

    • Crazy credits
      In the U.S. version, the only opening credit (after the Universal and Columbia logos) is "The Rundown" - and that appears eight minutes into the film. All other credits (actors, director, producers, writers, et al.) appear at the end of the film.
    • Alternate versions
      International prints swapped opening logos - Columbia was first, followed by Universal.

    B+ Flick...mindless entertainment

    This movie will appeal to all who like action for the sake of action. "The Rock" does a moderate job of acting in this movie-but his performance would not win him any awards. I love the fight scene in the beginning against the football team. Overrated and improbable: of course...but it really appeals to the thrill seeker in me for some reason.

    Sean William Scott plays off The Rock's character very well. I was disappointed with his performances in American Pie/Wedding. I thought he was a foul-mouthed, obviously stereotyped actor. I was pleasantly surprised at his different acting ability in this movie.

    This movie is a B+ flick with good fight scenes and low budget story lines. Good for mindless entertainment.
