Trivia:

The DVD release features a screen capture from the James Bond movie License to Kill, featuring the semi performing a wheelie through the burning remains of a second semi. Obviously this scene is not in the movie, and it is made even more odd by the fact that this movie is a 20th Century Fox release while License to Kill is an MGM release.

Goofs:

Continuity: Right parking light on the Mustang.

Quotes:

Max: I love giving away all my possessions, it makes me feel real spiritual.

Poor acting, some good Aikido fight scenes

Well, if you're after a decent martial arts bang'em up and not expecting a masterpiece of thespian theater this is a pretty decent movie.

If like many Steven Seagal fans what you're looking for is Sensei Seagal in action, this is (IMHO) one of his better pieces. The shopping centre does have some nice Aikido.
