Trivia:

At one point, Screen Gems were considering this film for a theatrical release.

Goofs:

Factual errors: In the shootout between Simon and Shaw, Shaw runs out of bullets, symbolized by a "click". However, he is shooting with a pistol. When a pistol runs out of bullets, the slide remains in its backwards position, for faster reloading. When it is in that position, the pistol can never produce a click.

Quotes:

Armand Tucker: [holding a gun] Now tell me, that your bitch-ass ain't dumb enough to bring a fist to a gunfight.
Simon: [grabs the gun from his hand] I AM!

Tonight Is Murder

Sony's Name, Good Action, Nice to see some good Actors too.

I liked it, every time I take a walk through blockbuster I say hey look another one straight to DVD, uh should I rent it?? Uh I am so unsure from the the other bombs. However I see Sony's name I see they did not do voice overs and he actually looks like he has been working out and looks good. The Action is good, I can understand what he is saying and not mumbling, would like to see a smile now and then though. Overall I thought it was Good!! Rent it!! I do believe he has a few more years left and us Segal fans can enjoy some good upcoming stuff.

He got that tarnished mob BS behind him and Major Studios are supporting him. It is good to see!! I would like to see more Aikido -- real Aikido moves and in full view not just a hand or an arm but lets see some Kote gaeshi, some true Bushido.
