Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the owner of "Black Moon" is describing the car at The Betsy, he says the body is made from "Kelvar". The super-strong plastic is "Kevlar", not Kelvar.

A typical 80's action film with an anything but typical plot, Black Moon Rising is not only a film with a memorable story but also admirable acting. Jones, as usual, delivers a great performance, with Linda Hamilton and the always watchable Robert Vaughn backing him up with their immense talent. Above average stunts, an intriguing score, and a fast-paced and, at times, light-hearted script all combine to form a fun and memorable film.
