Goofs

When Chris is following Bill who is being held captive in the trunk of a car. The Mercedes SL that Chris is driving is clearly shown to have its convertible top down in many scenes, however whenever a close-up is taken of Chris driving, you can see his rear window which would indicate that the top is actually up.

User Reviews

It is a stupid movie

I am appalled by the dumb level of the movie and it is disappointing to see Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Esteves waste their talents. Gina O Donell (I don't even know the correct spelling of her name) is a horrible actress to play in it. No harmony among the actors that makes it funny with the jokes. I gave the movie the benefit of the doubt at the beginning thinking it will smarten itself up but was very disappointed. Gina's voice is very irritating with all the whining.
