Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPatrick Swayze was an accomplished skydiver, and took part in the big skydiving scene. He made fifty-five jumps in total.
- GoofsWhile Utah is at the FBI looking up Tyler's criminal record, one of the first entries on the computer is "Excessive Speed," which Utah (or Keanu Reeves) reads incorrectly as "Exhibition of Speed."
- Alternate versionsThe 15-rated UK cinema version was trimmed by 25 secs to obtain the lower rating by the BBFC. There were five cuts to remove bullet impacts, cuts to shots of a naked woman being fired at during the house raid and several cuts to remove aggressive strong language. The cuts were restored the following year when the distributors opted for an 18 certificate for the video release. This same cut was resubmitted in 2011 and received a 15 certificate.

Featured review
They don't make movies like this today
Who misses Patrick Swayze - I know I do. He was always good in whatever movie but particularly in this one - such a wide range of acting. I hadn't seen it for years and it came up on tv so I recorded it so I can watch it over.
