Revealing mistakes:
When Nick discovers that the kids are off the train and it starts to move, he runs almost the entire length on the train yelling at them. When the camera shows the kids from the front you can see that the train tracks start about 30 feet behind them, not enough room for the entire train.
Quotes: Nick Persons:
Oh Damn! Boy Didn't you hear what I just said? Lindsey Kingston:
Ooh, you just swore. Nick Persons:
Your damn right I swore, that's about $400 dollars worth of damage to my new car! Lindsey Kingston:
That's twice! Now you have to put two dollars in the swear jar.

Rating: 1/10
Sometimes we can be over critical of a movie and call it the worst EVER
made. but this is one film that i couldn't be critical of enough.
it's a family film i guess but it's not even slightly funny on any
level. the performances of all the cast is woeful, Ice Cube snarls and
does his usual thing so i suppose he does fine, but the leading lady
and children act like they have been plucked off the street. its
embarrassingly bad at times, then again i guess the abysmal script
doesn't help. C'mon who writes this rubbish. Fart gags, puking gags,
and i need a pee gags. it really is terrible.
If someone suggests renting this out from the video store i'd run a
mile. avoid at all costs this is TERRIBLE.
