Curiosità:

In the original script, the Video Store Kid was only a voice heard over the phone. He was never seen until the end of the film. However, when Danny Smith was hired, it was decided to insert his scenes into the film and introduce him physically earlier.

Errori:

Continuity: During the gun shoot out between Melvin and Cisco in Melvin's house, Cisco is seen shooting many bullets at Melvin, when he hits the fridge next to Melvin at first there is 2 bullet holes, Cisco fires 3 shots, then there are 8 bullet holes. Then when you see the fridge again after there are only 2 bullet holes again.

Citazioni:

Melvin Smiley: Technically, you can call me a hitman.
Keiko Nishi: Really? A hitman? Does that pay well?
Melvin Smiley: Oh of course. I make a killing.

Colonna sonora:

Someone to Call My Own

A great action comedy.

You must not think of this movie as a pure action movie,because it is not ment to be. This is one of the best action/comedys that are ever made. It mixes the humor with the action so well and the story is just plain nuts.The movie takes new directions all the time and it never stops to surprise you. The main characters gets involved in the most redicolues dilemmas you have ever seen and I guarantee that you will laugh many times.This movie also has some very violent scenes and some bad language.So it is not for kids. In the main roles you will find Mark Wahlberg,Christina Applegate and Lou Diamond Phillips which is my best friend Ole Martin's favourite actor.

So if you are looking for a laugh and some great action then this is the movie for you.
