Storyline

- TriviaThis was intended to be the first in a trilogy of action films starring Michael Paré as Tom Cody. However, its failure at the box office had put an end to the project. Despite this, Pare and Deborah Van Valkenburgh reprised their roles as Cody and Reva in Road to Hell (2008), the unofficial sequel to this film which has not seen an official physical or digital release though its trailer and renditions of "Nowhere Fast," "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young" and end credits have surfaced online.
- GoofsWhen the Sorels' bus is stopped by the cop roadblock, as McCoy is pulling the bus to a stop, there's a shot of her in the driver's seat. Seated directly behind Amy Madigan is a middle aged woman who looks like a crew member, present throughout the entire shot. She disappears immediately after the cut and is never seen again, nor was she a passenger on the bus prior to this scene.
- Alternate versionsAn 'R' rated version of the film was shown to theater exhibitors before being cut to a 'PG' for theatrical release.

A futuristic rock n roll love story
In this dark musical drama a soldier of fortune must rescue his former girlfriend after she is kidnapped by a motorcycle gang. This is a very dark and energetic film with an excellent soundtrack and a story that keeps you involved..it has a great cast with Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis, Diane Lane, and others ..very underrated and ahead of its time on a scale of one to ten...7
