    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The scene where Louise grabs Thelma's headphones from her and scares her was not planned. In the DVD's audio commentary, Geena Davis commented where she was supposed to get up when Susan Sarandon called her from the car, but had the volume on her Walkman turned up too high, and did not hear her cue, so Susan came over to get her.
    • Goofs
      While it is a popular movie trope that a caller must stay on the line a minimum amount of time before the call can be traced, by the time of this movie's setting, calls could be traced as soon as the connection was made. This is true even with a landline, a public phone, or a long distance call, as was the case in the film.
    • Quotes

      State Trooper: [sobbing] Please! I have a wife and kids. Please!

      Thelma: You do? Well, you're lucky. You be sweet to 'em, especially your wife. My husband wasn't sweet to me. Look how I turned out.

    Incredible adventure

    Thelma and Louise is an incredible, if familiar, adventure that's funny, well paced and emotional. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis give incredible performances and have fantastic chemistry. Harvey Keitel, Brad Pitt and Michael Madsen all give really good supporting performances. Ridley Scott's direction is amazing and the music by Hans Zimmer is great as well as the soundtrack.
