    • Trivia
      In Germany, it was distributed as "a film from Oliver Stone", even though Oliver Stone was only one of the movie's producers.
    • Goofs
      Wrapping a gun, especially one as powerful as the .44 Magnum, in a towel will hardly dampen the sound of the gunshot. In fact, it's more likely to set the towel on fire due to the enormous muzzle flash.
    • Quotes

      Eugene Hunt: Death is the best kick of all. That's why they save it for last.

    a total disaster
    Ron silver acted so bad. the script is so bad. in the store scene, she does not call for back up when she sees what was happeneing. and later ron silver takes away the gun, okay thats a bit surprising because there had been no introduction to his character until then, and funny jamie does not bother to stay behind and do the policework, thats okay because she is apparently too shocked and takes leave. later the chief accuses her of shooting ron silver too many times and also going to the extent of accusing her of shooting an unarmed man. now how about the people in the store, surely someone did see him, how about the security camera, how about the people in the streets, well nobody seems to have seen this guy hold the gun. Very poor film by any standards. Later silver shoots jamie's friend while holding jamie's neck with his arms, and she later says she did not see his face... what a stupid story.
