Trivia
This was named one of the most violent movies of 1990 by the National Coalition on TV Violence.

Goofs
When Screwface learns that Nesta and Jimmy Fingers are dead, he tilts the table where he was playing dominos, and one of the legs comes loose. He rips it out and uses it to hit one of his fellow Jamaicans. After his "I want Hatcher dead" speech, he throws the leg of the table to the ground (it can be heard), but in the next shot, the table has the leg again.

Quotes
Max: Well?
John Hatcher: One thought he was invincible... the other thought he could fly.
Max: So?
John Hatcher: They were both wrong.

Crazy credits
The posse phenomenon is estimated to be a fraction of one percent of the Jamaican population and should not detract from their country or the contributions Jamaicans have made to this country.

Alternate versions
Prior to 2013, all UK versions were cut for an 18 rating with edits to an eye gouging, a back break, a neck break and arm breaking scenes. The uncut version was passed with a 15 rating in 2013.

Connections
Edited into Malevolent (2002)

Seagal delivers

Of Stevens Seagal's movies, this is clearly one of the better. It's from 1990, and that was around his prime time as a action star. ("Under Siege" came two years later). There are a couple of really cool fights in this movie where Seagal handles lots of bad guys without any effort at all. The last part of the movie, where he's invading the Jamaica-man bad guy's base is especially entertaining. In this movie, he has one of the best comments of all his films:"One thought he was immortal, and the other one thought he could fly. Both were wrong". Watch the movie to find out what I'm talking about. You won't regret it if you like easy action.
