Trivia
The meaning and relevance of this movie's Murphy's Law title is that it is a play on words of the central character's name Jack Murphy (Charles Bronson) with the popular expression of the same name that in simple terms states anything that will go wrong, will go wrong, a maxim that can be considered to apply to the Jack Murphy character in this movie. The character even has a variation of Murphy's Law in the movie and that's Jack Murphy's Law which his character says is: "Don't f*** with Jack Murphy!". See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Jack and Arabella escape from the hotel, she steps onto the fire ladder first. However it is Jack that steps off the ladder prior to her. See more »Soundtracks
