THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SECURITY MEN!!!


What a crock....the engineer who signs off goes half ass and pencil whips his inspection. Utter BS, wouldn't happen. I know he left convinces itself that professionals are all a bunch of schemers with zero integrity, nonsense.

And the "SECURITY!!" rant? What a laugh, and it just got more ridiculous from there when Lemmon had to outrun the security goons.

No doubt there must've been some give and take with Columbia/Hollywood on this, keeping it real but throwing them some bones so they can say we have our beloved required car chase. On the whole I still think it's great though.

Big corporations have their security personnel. Some worse than others.

It's that man again!!

Bare in mind, most security guards are low paid, and don't give a ****!

Yeah, I've worked in the nuke business (in fact, I was when this movie came out) and that aspect of this was just ridiculous. Employees were always urged to raise any safety issues they observed. (They skimmed the "attack van" deal from one of the CTs on Karen Silkwood.)
