Interesting facts

Air Panic is a 2001 American-Indian-South African action film directed by Bob Misiorowski, and starring Kristanna Loken, Rod Rowland, Barbara Carrera, Scott Michael Campbell and Alexander Enberg.

Production

Air Panic was the first of two transportation disaster action films successively made for Nu Image by the same creative team. The second was Derailed starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which was shot eleven months later. There is a humorous reference to the upcoming film at the end of Air Panic, when two characters agree to avoid planes in favor of trains in the future, citing their safer reputation.

The film was shot in the fall of 2000 at Ramoji Film City studios in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The crew was primarily local, but some of the stunt and FX teams came from Nu Image's usual shooting locations of South Africa and Bulgaria.

Barbara Carrera had previously worked with Misiorowski and Nu Image on Point of Impact, a 1993 crime thriller shot in South Africa. Air Panic is the first film credited to Marc Jakubowicz as lead editor. The son of veteran Nu Image editor Alain Jacubowicz, he had already worked under his father on several films, including Misiorowski's On The Border and Shark Attack.
