    • Trivia
      According to Kelly Lynch, whenever Bill Murray sees her sex scene with Patrick Swayze on television, he calls her husband, Mitch Glazer, to tease him about it.
    • Goofs
      In the Double Deuce office, there is blood dripping from Pat McGurn's nose before Dalton hits 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.

    Great Film
    Do not miss this one. It has it all and stems from the golden age of cinema. BUT buy the DVD. The TV version is censored and missing some of the best scenes involving men and women being natural and satisfying one another. Perfect symmetrical c-cups!
