    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film opened just 9 days after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The plot features a gang of militant white supremacists who intend to detonate a bomb in a public place. The film took in $300 on its opening night in Oklahoma. The distributors were forced to release a statement disassociating the film from the real-life incident.
    • Goofs
      The C4 in the trunk of the car blew up when shot. In reality, shooting the C4 would have had no effect.
    • Quotes

      Jake Wilder: Got the warrant?

      Policeman: It didn't come through.

      Jake Wilder: What do you mean it didn't come through?

      Policeman: I don't know, Jake, they said something about probable cause.

      Jake Wilder: Well, I'm going in anyway.

    Features a Briard!
    The only reason to watch this video is that one of its stars is a BRIARD, one of the most friendly, intelligent, forceful, and hairy of dog breeds! They are originally a French breed, but can now be found all over Europe and the United States. Your Briard, or other breed of dog, will enjoy watching this movie too!
