Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The gunfight in the warehouse where Santee, with a gun in either hand, mows down a small army of Asian heavies is a direct homage to the "Heroic Bloodshed" action sequences of John Woo, despite the absence of doves. At the Premiere, Vic Armstrong was horrified to encounter Woo himself. "Sorry, John," he mumbled. "I'm kind of ripping you off in one scene in this movie." Unperturbed, John Woo replied "Don't worry about it, Vic. I've been stealing from you for years." more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the hotel scene where Rita is getting undressed for the shower, she takes off her panties, then her bra. When she takes off her bra, the camera moves down her back, you can clearly see she is still wearing panties. more
Quotes:
Wellman Anthony Santee: You can open the safe with your balls or without 'em.
Jimmy Shoeshine: First choice.

VERY GOOD, 23 December 1998
10/10
Author: Shawn Watson (gator_macready@yahoo.com) from The Underverse

This movie is very well made and has a decent plot. The editing may be a little ham-fisted in places but the shoot-outs are far from simple and the car chases rival that of even RONIN. It also has a sly sense of humour and self aware of it's stupidity. I like the music, it's highly thematic. I like George Segal's character, adding a little class to the oily villain he plays and Dolph is good. He's always good. Much better than Seagal or Van Damme or Stallone. It's a pity he's not in many high profile movies. But this one is definitely one of his best.
