Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesDebbie Harry has said the film's main title song "Call Me" was inspired by driving and she visualized the film's opening sequence when writing it. She said: "When I was writing it, I pictured the opening scene [of the movie], driving on the coast of California." Harry was first given an instrumental rough track titled "Man Machine" by Giorgio Moroder and was asked to write the melody and lyrics for the song. Reportedly, this only took her a few hours to do.
- Erros de gravaçãoAt 17:12, the helicopter carrying the camera is clearly reflected just above the right rear wheel of the Mercedes.
- Citações
Julian Kaye: Why me? Why did you pick me?
Leon: Because you were framable. You've stepped on too many toes. Nobody ever cared about you. I never even liked you much myself.

An example of 80's style
This is one of Richard Gere's first lead roles in Hollywood, and he doesn't disappoint. The film gives a little insight, a preview even, of the seamier side of the 1980's. Beginning with the shots of Julian Kaye's (Gere) Mercedes convertible, glimpses of Rodeo Drives and Malibu (all with Blondie screaming "Call Me"!), the film manages to be more than just a whodunit. Perhaps the charm of the film for me is that we're never quite sure what to think of Kaye and his married lover (Lauren Hutton), but their quest for happiness with each other is believable. And though the detective plot-line of the movie is a little contrived, Detective Sunday and Leon provide good opposite poles of this Sodom and Gommarah-like portrayal of life in L.A. In fact, Julian's verbal sparring with Detective Sunday provide a light contrast with the realistic portrayal of a gigolo on the run.
