Notes
Trivia: The role of Caparzo was written just for Vin Diesel after director Steven Spielberg saw some of his previous work. (more)

From the camera angle when Jackson says, "Sir, we got a situation over here, " he has his pistol in his hand and pointed at Sgt Horvath. A few seconds later, from another angle, Jackson's pistol is still tucked in his belt and he draws it and points it at Sgt Horvath. (more)
