Six O One: No, no, no, no, no. Listen, let me tell you something friend. Violence is bigger than ever. You see, little baby white girls be piercing every floppy piece of skin they got, creaming to every flavor of gangsta. Pretty soon, records just gonna have the sounda... sounda gunshots on 'em! Man, everywhere you look, billboards got some big ass movie star holding some big-ass gun. Let me tell you something... motherfucker! Violence rules, man! Violence is flip! You don't like it, run...

When Page is holding Mike at gunpoint she holds the gun upward with the bottom of the handle facing outward and the ammo clip is clearly missing. Yet when Mike exits through the patio door she fires the gun and shatters the glass. See more »Quotes

Well, it is a poor movie, nothing happens, ever!!, but that's no reason, I mean if you saw Stranger Than Paradise (1984)of Jim Jarmusch you see a movie were nothing happens but still rules, anyway, I think Wenders sold out, he started with this movie, and later selling his "Wings of Desire" script to hollywod, very disappointing!
