    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Walter Hill, thinking Arnold Schwarzenegger was too muscular, asked him to lose ten pounds for his role and Jim Belushi, to gain ten pounds.
    • Goofs
      The teleprinter at the Moscow militia headquarters is seen printing a message in Russian but in the Latin alphabet. Equipment used by the Soviet government would undoubtedly allow the Cyrillic alphabet to be used.
    • Quotes

      Ivan Danko: I have car under control.

      Art Ridzik: Yeah, I'm sure they taught you all about cars and the price of insurance at your famous Russian school in Kiev!

      Ivan Danko: In socialist countries, insurance not necessary. State pays for everything.

      Art Ridzik: Yeah? Well, tell me something, Captain. If you've got such a fucking paradise over there, how come you're up the same creek as we are with heroin and cocaine?

      Ivan Danko: Chinese find way. Right after revolution, they round up all drug dealers, all drug addicts, take them to public square, and shoot them in back of head.

      Art Ridzik: Ah, it'd never work here. Fucking politicians wouldn't go for it.

      Ivan Danko: Shoot them first.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits certain letters are reversed so as to imitate Russian Cyrillic script. In particular, "Rs" and "Ns" are reversed.
    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version was edited for violence to secure a "Not under 16" rating. Rental VHS (Starlight) was also edited for violence. Retail VHS (Starlight, EuroVideo) included all the violence but missed 9 minutes of dialogue (oddly both versions were rated "Not under 16"). In 1997 the film was re-released by Astro, this time in its uncut form with a "Not under 18" rating (it was advertised as being a "Director's Cut"). DVD (Kinowelt) is also uncut.

    They don't make'em like this anymore...
    Arnie's best days are long gone but here, he gets to shine, maybe because the character of Danko perfectly matches his sometimes "wooden" performance. It's definitely one of his strongest roles. it's a movie that has clichés and the story is nothing extraordinary, but the movie works well and is entertaining every time, even if you know what's going to happen.
