      At around 18m18sec The forklift that Courtney Cox is driving away makes a sound like an electric forklift but clearly has a propane tank on it. Also in an enclosed warehouse one would not use a propane forklift.

    This Movie Should Make You Think...

    This movie is one of my favorites because it makes me think of all the choices I have made and how my life would change if my choices had been different. It plays right into the " Multiple Universe " theory.

    The only thing that doesn't ring true is how Larry Burrows ( James Belushi)has such a hard time understanding what is going on, that everything has changed.
