    • Trivia
      Bridget Fonda was cast after Jodie Foster and Winona Ryder turned it down.
    • Goofs
      Claudia buys cans of Progresso Ravioli in the store, and then serves that ravioli at dinner. One can easily see the areas of the ravioli that do not have sauce on them. The sauce is atop the ravioli, which clearly indicates that the ravioli was cooked separately and the sauce was placed over the pasta later. However, canned ravioli would have a completely different appearance; it would have sauce dispersed evenly all over each ravioli.
    • Quotes

      Maggie: I never did mind about the little things.

    • Alternate versions
      Because the original version was rated "Not under 18" in Germany, the film had to be cut to receive a "Not under 16" rating for video release and television broadcast. All scenes in which Victor kills somebody with his pistol were cut out. Also some fighting scenes with Maggie were shortened.

    Good viewing
    The English version of the French movie La Femme Nikita. I think it is quite well done, and I enjoyed it.

    A druggie girl kills a cop and is sentenced to death. She is given the "opportunity" to live, if she does what they say, and becomes an assassin. To the rest of the world she died.

    She is determined, and she doesn't play well with others, but if she doesn't start playing their game, she really will be in her grave.. I'm not giving away any more.

    But I would recommend it, it's worth seeing. Especially if you like Bridget Fonda, who kicks arse in this movie.
