Goofs:

Errors in geography: Kyrgystan is on border of China and Pakistan. Based on geography, the closest friendly base is in Turkey, which is to the WEST. The carrier was in the Phillipine Sea, which is to the SOUTH. They chased EDI all over the place without entering Russian Airspace (to the east). Then Wade got fragged and then Gannon ordered her "straight back to the boat [carrier]". So why did Wade's Talon 2 break up over North Korea, which is FAR to the EAST?

Quotes:

EDI: [Gannon preparing to fire a missile] Talon 1, clarify your intentions.
Lt. Ben Gannon: You gave me your word, I'm showing you mine.

Ridiculous, fun and filled with action.

Let me start out be stating that this is absolutely not the movie of the year. But I rather enjoyed it anyway because of the endless amount cliché lines, the way you can't really tell if it's actually meant to be a comedy or if it's supposed to be the action/scifi-movie of the year. The perfect movie for the guy or gal who knows nothing about computers, chemistry or the air force, and couldn't give a rats ass what's wrong or right. The acting isn't much worse than what you'd expect from a high school class, but don't expect not to be offended by some terrible lines and acting jobs. Warning: This is not a movie anyone should try to think about. Doing so will make you want to throw up. Do not think about how the facts have been messed up. Do not think about how the plot must have been written in the 80's and most of all: Do not think of admitting to your friends you watched this movie and liked it. All you have to do is fall back into the seat and enjoy watching things blow up for an hour and 55 minutes.
