Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Pearl building at 3,500 feet would be 1,000 feet taller than the actual Burj Khalifa, making it physically impossible with current engineering.
This was the first major Hollywood production to feature an amputee protagonist whose disability is never treated as something to overcome, just a fact of his competence.
