Quiz
So many scenes didn't make it into the movie that Jonathan Demme decided to place them at the end during the credits, to retell the story.

Blooper
At about 52 Minutes into the movie a sniper shoots 2 men in a moving vehicle. First he shoots the man in the passenger seat and you see a close up of the bullet hole in the windshield. Then before he even shoots the second man driving the car you see another shot of the car and windshield and there's two bullet holes in the windshield when there should only be one because he hadn't shot the second man yet.

Citazioni
Angela de Marco: God, you people work just like the mob! There's no difference.
Regional Director Franklin: Oh, there's a big difference, Mrs. de Marco. The mob is run by murdering, thieving, lying, cheating psychopaths. We work for the President of the United States of America.

Curiosità sui crediti
There are numerous outtakes in the end credits, including one showing the carved headboard of the bed in which de Marco is sporting with his mistress, bearing the words "Veni, Veni, Veni" (I Came, I Came, I Came), parodying Caesar's famous quote.

Versioni alternative
The German theatrical release was cut to 92 minutes for language and content.

Mob-Comedy Classic Always Entertains

This is a consistently funny story with some serious action scenes thrown in here and there. That combination of mob movie and comedy makes this a fun film to watch.l The characters in this movie are just that: characters. Everyone is a little off, actually a little too wacky for any believability. It's just a outrageous story played for laughs with few things making sense or being realistic.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Modine are the stars but Mercedes Ruehl steals the show, in my opinion, as the jealous wife. Dean Stockwell is great as the smooth mob man. Even with all the makeup to make her look cheap, Pfeiffer ("Angela de Marco") still can't hide that fabulous face. The costumes in here are great, too.

This is not family fare with a deserved R-rating for language, violence and some nudity but it's not really a rough movie. It has its charms, that's for sure. Modine plays the nice guy "Mike Downey."

Note: stay with the ending credits, because there is a lot of footage of scenes that never made it to the movie but were very interesting.
