Dies und das:

Brian Rusk's mother appears in the longer, 3 hours version. In her sidestory she purchases sun glasses worn by Elvis Presley. She can still be seen in the cut version of the movie at the end wearing the sun glasses.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: Brain Rusk throws apples at the windows of a house. There's a shot of the boy from inside the house and there are three small flowerpots visible on the window sill. When the apple smashes the window and knocks the pots off, the pots are different ones. One is much larger and the other is a glass jar.

Dialogzitate:

Danforth: Everybody that's got it coming is gonna get it now!

Feels like the book for short tiny little secounds.

I must say I love Stephen King's novels and my favourite is '' The Stand '' and this one. That's why it's such a shame this movie is so lousy. Sure, the actors do a great job but sometimes it just doesn't feel as interesting as the book. And the ending in the book was way way better than this one. For a couple of seconds things from the book hits you in the face but disappears as quick as they arrived. It probably doesn't matter but I sugest that if you loved the book you will HATE this movie.
