    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Tony Scott hated working with producer Joel Silver so much that he based the character Lee Donowitz, movie producer and cocaine user and dealer in his next movie True Romance (1993) on Silver and he made sure for him to look and act just like Silver did.
    • Goofs
      The C4 that Joe hides in the trunk cannot be detonated by a gunshot. However it is possible that the bullet struck the detonator which depending on the model could be set off by the impact of the bullet.
    • Quotes

      [Joe has just found out that Mike was sleeping with his wife]

      Mike Mathews: It just happened, Joe. It...

      Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, I know... it just happened. Coulda happened to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, slipped on the floor and accidentally stuck your dick in my wife. "Whoops! I'm so sorry, Mrs. H. I guess this just isn't my week."

    they don't make action movies like this anymore...
    In the early 90's, there was a definite, consistent presence in action movies: slow motion cinematography, wild gun-play, and funny one-liners. Granted, there are still some of those today (2004), but it just wasn't the same as back in the day. Now there are so many special effects in the current action films that it drowns out what used to be the great style of a "popcorn flick".

    Die Hard paved the way for these type of movies, and some of the offspring of this did well and did not. The Last Boyscout was one that did well. This was a very intelligent and fun action/thriller/buddy-comedy that can still be enjoyed to this day. Tony Scott is the master of under-appreciated action movies in the 90's, such as this and True Romance.

    My suggestion is to get a 6-pack, go rent this movie, sit back and enjoy the ride.
