Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVanessa Morley: When Fox Mulder and Dana Scully first walk back into the F.B.I. offices right before they walk into the bullpen, a female agent walks by that catches Mulder's attention and he watches her walk away. The woman is the actress who throughout The X-Files (1993) played the young Samantha Mulder, and is the same Samantha in the photo Mulder has taped to the back of his home office door.
- GoofsWhen Dacyshyn and the surgeon speak Russian, they switch between the familiar you (ty) and formal you (vy). Russians would never do that.
- Quotes
Fox Mulder: What's up, Doc?
- Crazy creditsThe end credits run over images of ice, water and land, and finally we see Mulder and Scully in a small row boat off of a tropical beach. Scully is in a bikini, Mulder is in swim trunks and rowing toward a small island. They wave to the camera above as it pulls back and fades to black.
- Alternate versionsThe home video version has behind the scenes photos of the cast and crew over the end credits. The theatrical version did not have these behind the scenes photos.

Featured review
"Sorry About Your Car!"...
Just as FIGHT THE FUTURE was the perfect bridge between seasons 5 and 6 of the TV series, I WANT TO BELIEVE sits at the center of the fourteen year gap between seasons 9 and 10. Having moved on -apart- for several years, Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) must reunite in order to solve a particularly grisly new case.
Director and X-FILES guru extraordinaire, Chris Carter pays homage to everything from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS / SEVEN to HOSTEL and even FRANKENSTEIN! Toss in Billy Connolly as a psychic, pedophile priest, and we're off to the paranormal races! Amanda Peet is quite good in her role as lead FBI agent, Dakota Whitney. Don't blink, or you might miss Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) in his extended cameo appearance!
Highly recommended for both fans and casual viewers of the show...
