Storyline

- TriviaFirst movie together for action star Jean-Claude Van Damme and director Peter Hyams. They followed up the cooperation with Cái Chết Bất Ngờ (1995) and Enemies Closer (2013), and almost worked on a movie in between called 'Abominable' before it was cancelled. Van Damme later credited Hyams as the only person who came to visit him while he was in rehab.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the movie when George Spota is talking to the senate committee he states that an arms deal was being paid for by gold bullion from the civil war. He states that this coin was carbon dated back to that time. This cannot be so for two reasons. One if it was brought forward in time it would not have had a chance to age. But even more so is that you cannot carbon date metals. Carbon dating can only be used for organic matter, material that was once living.
- Crazy creditsOn the trailers, the 1936 Universal Pictures "Art-Deco Globe" logo is used. the actual film meanwhile had the 1991 logo played normally.
- Alternate versionsThe film was initially censored to receive a more commercially viable M rating for its theatrical release in Australia. The sex scene between Van Damme and Mia Sara was slightly cut and the final confrontation between Van Damme and one of Ron Silver's heavies where Van Damme repeatedly pistol whips the villain was censored to one hit. These cuts were restored for the MA VHS and DVD release.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Smithereens: Time Won't Let Me (1994)
Featured review
This was actually a decent film. If you can get past the gratuitous violence (a virtual requirement for Van Damme films), you might like this movie. Van Damme plays the title character who needs to stop a crooked politician from changing history while trying to decide whether to save his murdered wife. I liked this. Silver is good as the bad guy, and Van Damme is watchable. See it if you get the chance! *** out of ****
