| Plot: | Taylor and Harold are good friends and avid climbers. While climbing one day, they meet a man who it seems might be attempting to climb K2, the world's second-highest peak. Always pushy, Taylor bugs the man for a spot on the team, claiming that he and Harold are good enough. They may be very good, but K2 is a very tough mountain. |

Goofs

GEOG: There is nothing in the key climbing sequence of the movie to suggest the movie was filmed anywhere near K2 - although the montagne valley locations seem to be in the Hindu Kush. For example, when they reach "the death zone" the characters engage in a walk and talk with little apparent loss of abilities due to oxygen deprivation at this altitude. Miscellaneous: British Columbia is spelled wrong throughout the credits ("British Colombia"). |

[starts climbing a building] Harold: What about, uh, Dallas? What's his name? What's his problem? Taylor Brooks: Dallas Woolf. We went to Law School together. He was good in the classroom... I was better in the courtroom. There's no contest in the bedroom! Harold: [Harold and Taylor are in a tent] Hey Taylor, you awake? Taylor Brooks: No. Taylor Brooks: If you ask me, it costs too much. Harold: What? Taylor Brooks: Love. It's way overpriced. Taylor Brooks: Mrs. Perkins, dinner tonight? Pam Perkins: What about it? Taylor Brooks: Have it with me. Pam Perkins: No. Taylor Brooks: C'mon! Why not? Pam Perkins: Look Mr. Brooks, I already have a date. Taylor Brooks: Break it! Overtime. Pam Perkins: Thanks. But I nerver shit where I eat. Taylor Brooks: Oooh. I wasn't aware, Mrs. Perkins, you shit at all! Taylor Brooks: You climatizing, Harold? Harold: Good news or bad news when you bleed from your ears? Taylor Brooks: Good news. Taylor Brooks: What the Hell is goin' on? Phillip Claiborne: Just lost the porters. Takane Shimuzu: What are we going to do now? Taylor Brooks: Fuck them. We don't need them, we are taking by ourselves. Dallas Woolf: That's 7 tons of gear. When you wanna do this, before or after you get dressed? Taylor Brooks: I didn't make the world the way it is, Harold. I'm just trying to get through it, as fast and as clean as possible. Harold: [after staring straight at him for 5 seconds] We ALL make the world the way it is. Taylor Brooks: Yeah, well, we know who made this. [Taylor tosses his unfinished bowl of oatmeal into the pot and exits the tent] |
