stars At the University of British Columbia, Canada, an Earth and Ocean Science course (EOSC 310) uses this film as a learning tool by showing the film to students and then analyzing the bad science behind it. Ironically, at least one of UBC's professors was consulted during the shoots that were done in Vancouver.

stars In demonstrating the physics of what is happening, Aaron Eckhart's character uses a peach to make his point. Unfortunately none of the peaches brought to the set were suitable so an apple was painted and had a peachstone inserted into its middle.
