    • Alternate versions
      Due to Ascot Filmverleih targeting a "not under 16" rating from the FSK, the German theatrical version was cut to reduce violence in a few scenes. The uncut version was later released on video, though despite the "not under 18" rating, it was light indexed in Germany by the BPjM from 1991 up until 2016. Shortly after being de-indexed, the FSK have since re-rated the uncut version to "not under 16".

    One of Dolph's best...

    I saw this movie recently...n i bet this is one of the best movie Dolph Lundgren has ever acted in. Dolph acts as a tough cop fighting the drig mafia, suddenly large amounts of drugs have been stolen from the mafias & non drug addicts are also being killed...n the movie takes a turn from action to a sci-fi thriller. If u really are a Dolph Lundgren fan..u would'nt like to miss this one..
