Trivia:
Shame tells the bodyguard/thug (played by Sven-Ole Thorsen) to "say hello to Arnold for me" before hitting him with the gun. Thorsen has appeared on screen in nine different Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, did stunts and training for actors and stuntmen in many others, and was actually introduced to the movie business by Arnold, who knew him from when they used to do bodybuilding competitions together. more
Goofs:
Continuity: During the scene at the mall when the two women are being exchanged on the escalators, Angela is seen behind Shame. You can tell it is the actress because you can see her eyes blinking. Then Shame put a mannequin on the escalator as to trick Mendoza. Later we learn that Angela is hiding in a storage room. more
Quotes:
Peaches Jordan: You remeber when we first met.
Shame: Yeah. I busted you stuffin' CD's in your underwear.
Peaches Jordan: Well Whatever. I liked you. And I was only 16 and I knew it wouldnt work. Now, I'm 22 going on 23. Can't you see how much I've grown?
Shame: You mean you ain't wearin' that trainer no more?

Barely Amusing, 2 August 2001
Author: hillari from Chicago, USA

It was a shame that this movie couldn't have been 1) funny, and 2) faster paced. The plot was full of tired detective story cliches, including a plucky assistant who wants to get more involved in the action, a beautiful gun moll, and the cop who's main purpose is to berate the detective. Include stereotypical Hispanic gangsters, stereotypical gay men, and a friend of the cop who may not be whom he seems, and it adds up to poorly executed film. There were too many scenes that failed to move the plot along. In many spots, the movie came to a dead stop. Waynans, who did such great work on TV's "In Living Color", doesn't bring the same high quality to this movie. I'm glad I didn't see this in theaters when it was released. It doesn't make for a good video rental, either.
