    • Trivia
      John Lithgow almost never blinks during this film. He wore a contact lens to give the impression that his character had a glass eye.
    • Goofs
      When Styles is getting dressed in the locker room and stands up when the woman comes in the room you can clearly see that Washington is wearing a "modesty pouch".
    • Quotes

      Parole Board Official: Mr. Blake, what will you do if you get out of prison?

      Blake: [thinking] Well, I guess, Mr. Chairman, that first I'll pay a visit to your house.

      Parole Board Official: To thank me, I suppose?

      Blake: No... to fuck your wife. And your daughter. Hell, maybe even your dog.

    • Alternate versions
      All UK releases were cut by 5 secs by the BBFC to edit a scene featuring a butterfly knife and to remove a brief shot of the cover of a child porn magazine in line with UK rules on child protection.

    One of the Most Ridiculous Movies I've Seen
    It's so bad, it's good? I don't even know how to explain the absurdity going on in this movie. From the power guy/bad guy having cake with the babysitter to everyone believing a dubbed video of the protagonist passed out screwing a hooker is real. Everyone close to him IMMEDIATELY turning on him for absolutely no reason whatsoever to god knows what because I haven't even finished this train wreck. I don't know if someone really wrote the most terrible script in the world or half this movie got left on the editing room floor. God it's bad.
