Goofs
About a third of the way through, Nick and other policemen are trying to disarm a suspect holding seven sticks of dynamite only 100 feet away. The dynamite explodes much less than it should; seven sticks of dynamite would level a house, and everyone would have to be at least 300 feet away to avoid serious injury or death. See more »Quotes

Alternate Versions
There exist two different version on videotape. One where Malak Al Rahim dies at the end, by having his head blown off, and one where this doesn't happen. The ending where Rahim doesn't die, is very tame, since the picture just fades to black, and then fades back in, with Randaal sitting somewhere pondering his fate. See more »Soundtracks

An exciting movie if you're a Rutger Hauer fan. I enjoyed the story line. So it's predictable? I didn't predict seeing Gene Simmons as a middle eastern terrorist with a diabolical scheme to take over the world! Rutger fans know his acting talents aren't like Tom Cruise, but they're not like Steven Seagal either. This movie was entertaining and certainly ahead of it's time. Of course, we had no idea that the level of domestic terrorism demonstrated in this movie could happen. It was incomprehensible. So it fits the bill for me for excitement in it's continuity, dialog's, ubiquitous explosions, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I like action movies and this movie delivers action.
