Goofs
If you get separated from your wedlock partner for more than 100 yards, the wedlock starts beeping first, and you have couple of seconds to get back within 100 yards, as demonstrated multiple times during the movie. So, why didn't somebody just step over the line for a few seconds, and then find out whose wedlock beeped? Then, they could escape any time they wanted.

Quotes
[Frank is using Sam as a shield as Noelle aims a gun at him]
Frank: Did you do it for Noelle, or for the money?
Sam: She is cute, isn't she?
[Noelle shoots Sam]
Sam: Ahh! You hit me, you bitch!
Noelle: Sorry honey, but I did it for the money.
Frank: Looks like she fucked us both.
Sam: Yeah. Hey, you want her back?

Crazy credits
The closing credits end with the sounds of the wedlock collar's warning alarm and an explosion.

Alternate versions
In Germany only a cut version was released to avoid an FSK 18 rating

Don't lose your head; wiggy sci-fi actioner

DEADLOCK (1992 - MADE FOR CABLE TV) **1/2 Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers, Joan Chen, James Remar, Stephen Tobolosky.

Pretty good futuristic action/crime story with prisoners (Hauer and Rogers, make a fine couple) fitted with collars that can cause their heads to be blown off (a la Schwarzenegger's "The Running Man") as they pursue their double-partners in crime. Best scene : after days of solitude the greedy warden, wanting to know where Hauer has hidden some stolen loot, opens a door where Hauser - up to his neck in water - tells him: "North Pole...ask for Santa" and laughs maniacally.
