    • Trivia
      When Gunar (Dolph Lundgren) shoots the recoilless rifle at the enemy camp he says: "Spring, era jävlar!" which is Swedish for: "Run, you bastards!". This exclamation has become a cult classic line in Sweden.
    • Quotes

      Kiefer: This is not the ordinary I hit you, you hit me, I hit you, you hit me. No, no, no, no. This is I hit you, I hit you, I fucking hit you!

      [to his soldiers]

      Kiefer: Every time he touches me, kill one of his men.

    • Alternate versions
      There are 3 different video-prints out in Germany. The 16 and 18-rated Versions were heavily cut (so is the TV-Version); only the Unrated Rental-Video is uncut.

    Would-be thinking man's action movie ?
    Everything John Sayles does reeks of intelligence one way or another, and this movie tries to imply issues much more important than macho bravadura, "Broken Arrow"-like. I'll leave you to check those issues by yourself, since this wasn't intended to be a philosophy lesson in the first plane (and doesn't fall in Hemingway-esque clichés like "Sniper")but this one also features one of the greatest mug-catalogue since the heyday of Spaghetti-western (Too bas Danny Trejo wasn't on the boat !), including the charismatic English actor from "Mortal Kombat", who really, really shines in this one. I'm as tired of guns-and-explosions movie as the next guy, but this one is really worth a look, if only for its lush photography and elegant direction. Besides, the latest reel, chock-full of adrenaline, is really better than average. I'm glad I saw this one.
