Trivia
The film's music budget before composer Basil Poledouris was brought on board was a paltry five thousand-dollars, which was completely used on a composer who was rejected by the producers for the project. Soon after Poledouris was hired, Cannon films had "mysteriously" come up with more money for the music budget. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Eddie is throwing rocks at his girlfriend's window, all of his dialogue is dubbed in as his lips don't move once, all while facing the camera. See more »Quotes
