 The movie was supposed to include the famous Colombian actress Sofia  Vergara, who played an airplane hijacker. But, after the September  11, 2001 Terrorist Attack the scene where Vergara would hijack a  plane was scratched from the movie. Moreover, scenes which might be  considered unpatriotic have been excluded. The film was originally  scheduled to be released on October 5, 2001, but it was postponed  due to its terrorism theme and eventually released on Friday,  February 8, 2002.
