    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The role of Jacques was supposed to be played by Jean-Claude Van Damme up until a week before shooting began. Gunn said "the guy was kind of A.W.O.L. I just couldn't risk that personality type on this movie." Kevin Bacon stepped in as a last minute replacement.
    • Goofs
      After getting shot, Frank drives away and the shadow of the camera man is visible on the Crimson Bolt. The sun is on the other side (car has turned around) in the next shot in the car. Likewise, the camera's shadow is visible on the wall as the Crimson Bolt climbs over Jacques' fence.
    • Quotes

      Jacques: What are you gonna do? you gonna execute me for my sins? Don't think you're better than me, you fucking psycho. You fucking almost killed people for butting into line.

      Frank D'Arbo: [Interrupts] You don't butt in line! You don't sell drugs! You don't molest little children! You don't profit on the misery of others! The rules were set a long time ago. They don't change.

      Jacques: You really think that killing me, stabbing me to death is gonna change the world?

      Frank D'Arbo: I can't know that for sure... unless I try.

    Loved it

    As stated, dark and twisted. Good cast and great work. I really liked it and it was what I expected. Give it a go.
