Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarshall R. Teague initially didn't get along with Patrick Swayze. While filming their big fight, both men quickly realized they shared a dedication to realistic stunts. They developed so much mutual trust that they improvised a lot, and allowed each other to throw real punches and kicks. When Jimmy swings a log at Dalton, Teague mistakenly thought it was a breakable prop log. By the end, Swayze was covered in bruises, with two broken ribs and a busted knee.
- GoofsWhen Red is reaching for the replacement antenna for Dalton, you can see a prop man handing the antenna to him.
- Crazy creditsWhile the end credits are rolling, the house band does one more number.
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version was intact, although the video release was cut by 10 seconds by the BBFC to remove a knee kick, a double ear-clap and a groin punch. Dialogue about felling enemies by kicking them in the knee was also removed. The cuts were waived in 2001 for the DVD release.
