Trivia:
A "deleted scene" sees Jack shooting Howard Payne in the neck, just after he'd shot his partner in the leg at the beginning of the film. Later in the film, you can see the oval scar on Payne's neck caused by the deleted shooting. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When we see the front of Jack's car it has a blue licence plate, typical of Michigan, yet the story is set in Los Angeles. However, it is a blue plate with yellow letters that is a very common California plate. Michigan is blue with white letters. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Security Guard: Hey, this area's restricted.
Howard Payne: Oh, hi. Yeah, I know. They called me down here. Some of this wiring got screwed up.
Security Guard: Nobody called it down to me. I'm going to have to see a work order.
Howard Payne: Yeah, just a second. There you are.
[stabs security guard in the ear with a screwdriver]
Howard Payne: Nothing personal.

One of the best action films ever!, 31 October 2001
8/10
Author: SmileysWorld from United States

If ever there was a film I wished I had seen at the theater,this would be the one.It's a great combination of a well written story, great direction,and a great cast.It's one of those films that you want to like so much,and it does not disappoint.The only thing that bothered me about the film is perhaps is the insertion of ill timed corny remarks ("He lost his head"),and the ending could have been done better,but overall a great action film worth owning.
