Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn his biography, Christopher Reeve claims this film's failure, along with Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), The Aviator (1985), and Street Smart (1987), knocked him off the A-list in Hollywood and he would have to audition for major roles for the rest of his career.
- GoofsWhen Christy is chasing Ike, she loses her shoes and leaves them behind. However, after catching and directing Ike to the news building, Christy is seen entering the building and putting her shoes back on, though she never returned to retrieve them.
However, as the news building is across the field from where Christy tackled Ike, it is likely she retrieved her shoes on the way as she ran to the news building. She wouldn't have stopped to put her shoes back on while running in the grass, but waited until she was on solid footing just before entering the building.
- Quotes
The Governor: He's pardoned.
Roy Ridnitz: You can't do that!
The Governor: Yes I can. He's pardoned, and he's pardoned, and she's pardoned and you're not!
Featured review
This is really worth rediscovering - Turner and co really throw themselves into it and (shock) Reeve sends himself up excellently (particularly good in the 'vertigo in the lift' scene.
As revealed elsewhere, it's a remake of The Front Page - in fact right now can't think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than a double bill of these two in front of a nice fire :-)
So - not going to change your life - but I'll cheer you up.
