Stealth is a 2005 action/adventure thriller starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel and Jamie Foxx. Stealth was a colossal box office bomb that lost $99.6 million, one of the biggest box office losses of all time. The movie is directed by Bob Cohen.
In March 2005, Leo Stoller, who claims to own trademark rights to the word "stealth", served Columbia Pictures with a "cease and desist" letter threatening litigation if they did not rename the movie to something "noninfringing". Columbia responded with a lawsuit seeking a declaration from the court that their movie does not infringe on the trademark (which is not registered in any category remotely similar to motion pictures).
The Environmental Defender’s Office, a community legal centre specialising in environmental law, successfully represented the Blue Mountains Conservation Society Inc in its attempts to prevent filming of Stealth in the Grose Wilderness area of the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, in May 2004. Justice Lloyd of the Land and Environment Court ruled that the proposed commercial filming of scenes in the area was unlawful, in a significant statement on the value of wilderness areas and the protection that should be afforded to them. The Society claimed that the authority and consent for the commercial filming activities were in breach of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and the Wilderness Act 1987. Justice Lloyd accepted the Society’s arguments that the proposed commercial filming in a wilderness area was completely against the intended use of the land. His Honour concluded his judgment with the words, “wilderness is sacrosanct”.
Trivia
The anime OAV Sentou Yousei Yukikaze has numerous similarities worth noting, as its signature craft the FFR-31MR/D Super Sylph is visually comparable to the Talon, as well as a focus on the working relationship between the principal pilot and an AI plane, in this case the protagonist Rei Fukai and the flight computer Yukikaze. However, Sentou Yousei Yukikaze was released on 2002, three years before Stealth.
As a marketing gimmick to try to gain back losses through home video sales, the UMD version of the film for the PSP includes 3 stages of the video game Wipeout Pure with a Talon jet playable in the game.
