Trivia

The skull seen on Steve Austin's truck in the beginning and on his watch face are a nod to his 'Smoking Skull' symbol from when he wrestled.

Goofs

In the beginning of the movie the boarder patrol's SUV lettering is mirrored or backwards. This is in fact not a "goof." Many emergency vehicles have reversed, or "mirrored" lettering on the hood of the vehicle so that is is readable in another car's rear-view mirror. This is most commonly seen on ambulances, but can be seen on law enforcement vehicles as well.

Quotes

Title Card: Texas. Somewhere near the border.
Jim Rhodes: There it is at eleven hundred. Doesn't look like much, but our informant swears it's a clearing house for human trafficking.

User Reviews

Some good things, but overall disappointing

I put off seeing "Hunt To Kill" for a long time, after coming across several negative reviews of it; I only rented it the other day when I was able to rent it very cheaply. After seeing it, I can understand what provoked those negative reviews. To be fair, not everything about the movie is disappointing. The production values are pretty good, the British Columbia locations the movie shot at are attractive to the eye, and Steve Austin shows he can play a tough and charismatic protagonist. If he can get on projects with good scripts and directors, I predict he could have a healthy B movie career ahead of him. Unfortunately, "Hunt To Kill" is not well-written or directed. The movie is surprisingly dull for the most part, with endless bickering between the characters and very little action for the first hour. What action there is isn't well-constructed, with poorly chosen camera angles and edits. Eric Roberts fans beware: He only appears for just a few minutes.
