    • Trivia
      While filming the scene in which Doc notices Rudy waiting in ambush outside his hotel room, Michael Madsen dropped his pants off camera in order to get the desired look of surprise out of Alec Baldwin.
    • Goofs
      The shadow of a crew member can be seen moving in the mirror of Rudy's motorcycle after he shoots the beer can.
    • Quotes

      Rudy Travis: It's been my experience that having friends is overrated.

    • Alternate versions
      US theatrical version trimmed sex scenes between Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger to get a R-rating. The European release and US unrated videocassette are uncut.

    Am I the only one who loves this movie?

    The action scenes are top notch. Maybe I'm just a sucker for colorful characters and the bank heist angle is well done. Best of all is Alec Baldwin's character, Doc. Baldwin and the rest of the cast really deliver their lines with panache.

    Bank jobs, car chase, cat-and-mouse in a four story hotel, steamy sex, crazy characters.... what else do you want?
