    • Trivia
      Hawkes car is actually a 73-74 Nova, Not a 68-72. The front end was converted for a more well known style.
    • Goofs
      In addition to its patrol officers, the police force in this movie carries a more than ample full-time homicide department, including detectives trained in undercover work, surveillance, etc. But it's a sleepy little town where the string of murders that form the plot are seem to be unprecedented. How sleepy must the local taxpayers be not to question what they're paying all those professionals to do on their down-time, which must be upwards of ninety percent? It's a head-scratcher -- other than that, a great little movie.

      Teddy Banks: Hey, wrap your car around a tree, I'm not going to feel guilty!

      Kelly Banks: Neither am I.

    A very good surprise
    Let's be honnest : I almost stopped watching this movie after ten minutes because I felt it was a kind of parody, quite funny but it was not at all what I was expecting. Luckily, I kept on warching, and the more the plot went on, the more I was hooked. The plot is intelligent, well built, the characters are strongly defined and the acting is perfect. Add to that a very elegant staging, a beautiful photography, and you have a pretty good... what ? Action movie ? Film noir ? Modern western ? Well, actually the movie borrows from all these genres while succeeding to exist as a work in its own right. It is both funny and dark, light and serious, touching and violent. For all those reasons I really loved this movie. Of course this not a masterpiece, but it is not either a "forget after watching" movie like there are a lot right now. PS : sorry for my English, I am French and I have not written in English for a long time
