Trivia
The Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Countach in the film are in fact kit cars built on Pontiac Fiero shells. This is especially obvious in any of the interior and profile shots of the F40, which has a much shorter wheelbase than the real one. However, the two cars are over-dubbed with the correct engine notes.

Goofs
Once Santee has stolen Severence's Ferrari F40, Severence comments that the vehicle is capable of doing 160 mph. In fact, the top speed of the car is 201 mph, the first production vehicle to exceed 200 mph.

Quotes
Jack 'Rudy' Rudisill: This is turning into a major clusterfuck!
Lt. Franklin L. Severence: Do you EVER stop bitching?

Alternate versions
In the 106 minute Region 1 DVD by Artisan in 1999 there are several scenes which do not appear in the 97 minute 1994 UK VHS and TV broadcast versions such as Deputy Tomay's return to Jimmy Shoeshine's warehouse. The gun battle in the warehouse is much longer and bloodier and has a much higher body count.

very good action flick

This undoubtedly, is the best Dolph Lundgren film I've ever seen. You'll have to take into consideration that I'm not a big fan of Mr. Lundgren. This movie had great action scenes. You can tell that John Woo had a strong influence on the producers and directors because one special shootout looked very reminiscent of John Woo's type of filmmaking. This movie also has to feature, I think, one of the best car chases in a straight to home video film ever. It's sad that movies like these don't get highly promoted or promoted at all, therefore they become lost in the film world, where nobody discovers them for the true action movies that they really are. Watch this movie, you will not be dissapointed.
