    Edit
    • Goofs
      In the dance hall scene, when the camera moves behind the drummer, the drumhead on the drumset are Remo PinStripe heads - two layers of transparent Mylar with a thin film of oil between the heads. Mylar drumheads were invented in the mid 1950s. PinStripe drum heads were not available until 1973, when they were released by Remo.
    • Quotes

      FBI chief: [addressing Agents Walker and Pirelli] Here's what we do know: their country has fallen to the Commies. Little yellow men are now actively attempting to infiltrate our borders. I think it's time we found out what's going on with our local Chinese... I'm sending you boys to Chinatown!

    an under-rated film gem
    Feel like this is an under-rated classic with a film noir touch. Had an odd way of drawing you in until you were completely seduced. Just something about it made me love it more each time I viewed it. The acting was wonderful and well-done. Always nice to see Bruno Kirby though a different role for him. Same for Matt Dillon - totally unexpected but nice the same. Liked the atmosphere & setting which adds to the allure. A shame this was not better promoted as seems to be somewhat unknown. Regardless people should really give this a chance & check it out. Will be purchasing this as I could watch many more times. Truly unique.
