Quotes:
Coroner:
[Coroner is leading a group of cops through the morgue to a drawer] Visitors, Mendez. Rise & shine!
Det. Hazeltine:
[Obviously nauseated] I hate morgues.
Lt. Kaminski:
Yeah, that's him. Joseph Mendez, professional hit-man, worked free-lance.
Det. Barzak:
Didn't like women or kids, either. This guy was a bad-ass.
Coroner:
Really, because, I mean; he hasn't given me a bit of trouble.
[Slaps the corpse gently on the cheek as if to antagonize him]
Det. Hazeltine:
Yeah, well... I guess we'd better be going.
Coroner:
[Noticing Frank's nausea] Really, I was in the middle of ordering lunch before you guys came up here, uuh...
[Grabs up a phone & pretends to be ordering]
Coroner:
Hi, yeah, uuh... Make it a pastrami & a small Sprite. You sure I can't interest you guys in anything?

Don't get me wrong, this is a horribly by the numbers, worthless and forgetable film, but in my circle of friends it has developed a cult classic status. This is due to a friend giving me repeated copies of it as gifts as a long running joke. This caused me and some other friends to make our own sequel to it, Number 2 With a Bullet, to give to him on his birthday. After showing our film to some more friends we then made another, Number 3 With a Bullet. We even plan to make another in the next month. These are crudely made pieces but are highly entertaining nonetheless (more so than the original it has to be said).
I hope that one day the makers of this poor buddy movie discover the legacy they have created (just as long as they don't sue).
