Trivia
The on-camera relationship between Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) and Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) is one of intense emotion. "While we're playing a scene I hate his guts", Simmons said of Selleck and added, "I really want to kill him. It's funny, when doing this stuff it all wells up. I can't concentrate on giving somebody a certain look for an extended period of time without my temperature rising and my emotions starting to boil. Sometimes I would make up stuff about Tom, little things that would irritate me. And afterwards, I would go up to Tom and say, 'Look, I don't know if I was too . . . and he'd interrupt and say, 'NO, no. Don't explain anything. You're doing great'."

Goofs
Officer Thompson has a scene wherein she describes Luther to an officer, who creates a computerized image of him using a handheld device. Why bother when they already have his image recorded on the Johnson's door monitor?

Quotes
Ramsay: Congratulations, guys, you just staked out a roll of toilet paper.

Very Enjoyable

I really can't stand these reviews complaining about dated this, dated that. It was made in the 80's. Appreciate it for what it was trying to accomplish. With direction by Michael Crichton, a film score by Jerry Goldsmith, and great performances helmed by the incredible chemistry between Tom Selleck and Cynthia Rhodes, accomplish it did. This is a great and fun movie, shamefully underrated by people with poor taste.

Give it a try. Enjoy the interesting, wholesome and tense scenes within. I guarantee if you're someone with an open mind, you'll come away happy you saw it (and probably looking to buy a physical copy). Great 80's Sci-Fi flick!
