Compañía:

TriStar Pictures

Trivialidades:

The scene with the car chase through the forest was filmed in a public park in Pickering, Ontario, a small suburb near Toronto. Filming took about two weeks, during which the public was not allowed near the park. Residents of the town were understandably upset.

Errores:

Continuidad: Keiko's hair clip disappears while she and Melvin are cooking, and reappears in the next scene.

Citas:

Cisco: Melvin, pal, the hundred or so people you've murdered over the past five years probably have relatives that don't think too highly of you.

If you think the movie was supposed to be serious, you missed the point...

I had absolutely no idea that this movie was supposed to be a silly, spoofy action film when I saw it at the theater. The first 10 minutes makes this perfectly clear. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie for just being "guilty pleasure" escapist entertainment. Yes the movie is silly and corny - but that was the intent of the film.

Its more than understandable that this movie isn't for everybody, either you love it or hate it. However, if you watched the movie and took it seriously (ie the breakdancing during the first 'hit'), then you definitely missed the point. 8 out of 10.
