    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When the punks, including Jonathan in disguise, show their passports to the DDR officer, you can glance at their photos for an instant. Watching the movie on DVD, the still reveals the actors' real names and dates & places of their births. Obviously the actors playing the punks (and also Anthony Edwards) had been told to bring their own passports and show them into the camera.
    • Goofs
      When leaving the DDR by foot the border guard asks Jonathon "What was your purpose of visit to East Berlin?" - East Berlin was never referred to as "East" by the DDR as this would lend recognition to the occupying forces of the other side - they would have said just "Berlin" or "Berlin Haupstadt der DDR" (capital of the DDR)- they referred to West Berlin as "Westberlin" or "Berlin (west)"
    • Quotes

      [Jonathan has just crossed from East Berlin to West Berlin and is meeting with an American MP]

      Jonathan: Am I in West Berlin now?

      M.P.: You sure are.

      Jonathan: [looking back at East Berlin and giving it the finger] Fuck you!

      [looking back to the M.P]

      Jonathan: Good night.

      [heads off]

      M.P.: [looking at Jonathan, then looking at East Berlin] I've been wanting to do that for the last six months.

    Great Movie
    I remember seeing this movie when it first came out, it instantly became one of my favorites. IT was fun, had a nice plot, and Linda Fiorentino was a bombshell. If those that have seen it did not notice, but this movie can pretty much be single handedly thanked for PAINTBALL. In fact when the movie came out they even had the Gotcha Guns, which was pitched by quarterback Jim McMahon. The game was played by Anthony edwards(E.R, Top Gun) and his friends around college, they each had a id card and were assigned a person to kill, honestly I thought it to be a great idea that could be a lot of fun.so everyone that is out there playing paintball every weekend which I am sure there are a lot of you, thank this movie. If you are a fan of the 80's this is a definite must see.
