    • Quotes

      Venus: Joe, don't get killed.

      Joe: You know when this is over I wanna renegotiate my royalty rate, may need your contacts.

      Venus: How can you talk about business at a time like this? Those bastards are trying to kill us!

      Joe: Dying's easy, rock and roll is hard.

    • Alternate versions
      German version was cut by ca. 2,5 minutes to secure a "Not under 18" rating. Almost every violent part was shortened or completely removed to achieve this. The German version was also presented in the wrong image aspect ratio of 1.78:1 instead of the original 2.35:1 cinemascope.

    Wow Dolph's best movie ever (as the star)

    I assume anything dolph does is going to be a cheesy 80's action flick, even though the 80's are history. But then, an 80's classic action style movie exactly what I want when I sit down to watch one of his films. And yes, it is impressive that he still somehow produces the same kind of movies, although now they are filmed in eastern europe not the states.

    A movie like this is supposed to have implausible action, plot holes and weak dialogue. The selling point is guns, girls, battles and big explosions.

    Amazingly this movie has everything we're looking for, and very little of the things we expect to put up with. Minor plot holes, mostly physically plausible action, and surprisingly some pretty good dialogue, including some actually funny stuff.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and applaud it as Dolph's best work in a long, long time. Let's hope the next one follows suit.

    Good job dude!
