Lots of funny scenes like the mudslide where Jack ends up with his face between Jane’s legs and when they find the crashed drug plane.

A favorite moment for me is the love scene which begins with them dancing at a party. As they move closer to one another, the romantic underscoring segues over the dance music as the scene moves to the couple in bed. It’s a terrific transition.

Since I’m a sailor, I understand Jack’s motivations but the ending has always bothered me. Jack’s sailboat (I think it’s a Pacific Seacraft 37) is on a trailer on what looks like NYC’s West End Avenue. However, the mast is stepped and the main and jib sails are unfurled. One would never trailer a sailboat with the mast stepped because the boat becomes unbalanced (the center of gravity is raised) and it can’t go under anything (like bridges and tunnels). Additionally, unfurling the sails is meaningless since the boat is being towed and it’s dangerous because a gust of wind could tip the boat over.

Still, I love the film and the sequel is pretty good, too.
