Um Tira Implacável

We first see Richie Marks (Sam Elliott) while he is inside a movie theater showing O Ultimato (1982), which was also directed by James Glickenhaus.

At night time, when Roland gets caught at the precinct stealing the evidence from the locker, the shot moves to an exterior shot which shows the precinct by day - very sunny - then cuts back to an interior shot, again at night.

On its first run past the Australian classification board, the film was rated R. To garner a wider audience, Hoyts removed approx. 1 minute of footage so that the film could get an M rating. The footage removed included the "condom" scene with the old jailer, all references to homosexuality and snitches being "turned out", the scene outside the porno theater where the Nicky Carr's right-hand man guns down the bystanders after the cops and the Russian roulette scene in the police station. this footage was never reinstated for the film's VHS or subsequent DVD release.
