    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Kelly Lynch, whenever Bill Murray sees her sex scene with Patrick Swayze on television, he calls her husband, Mitch Glazer, to tease him about it.
    • Goofs
      When Red is reaching for the replacement antenna for Dalton, you can see a prop man handing the antenna to him.
    • Quotes

      Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.

    • Crazy credits
      While the end credits are rolling, the house band does one more number.
    • Alternate versions
      The 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.

    Intentionally? Funny
    The dialog, story and acting in this are so cliched that I believe it is a parody of action movies. Others believe it is a straight action movie gone horribly wrong. Whatever the intentions, this movie is very entertaining and very, very stupid. I love it, superior in every way to Sophie's Choice.
