Trivia
Patrick Swayze hurt a knee during filming. He chose to make Ghost (1990) next because it was less strenuous, turning down the roles of Gabriel Cash in Tango & Cash (1989) and Mike Harrigan in Predator 2 (1990).

Goofs
When Red is reaching for the replacement antenna for Dalton, you can see a prop man handing the antenna to him.

Quotes
Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.

Crazy credits
While the end credits are rolling, the house band does one more number.

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was intact, although the video release was cut by 10 seconds by the BBFC to remove a knee kick, a double ear-clap and a groin punch. Dialogue about felling enemies by kicking them in the knee was also removed. The cuts were waived in 2001 for the DVD release.

Connections
Edited into Jeff Healey (1991)

Intentionally? Funny

The dialog, story and acting in this are so cliched that I believe it is a parody of action movies. Others believe it is a straight action movie gone horribly wrong. Whatever the intentions, this movie is very entertaining and very, very stupid. I love it, superior in every way to Sophie's Choice.
