Trivia:
James Woods and Jeff Bridges both loved working with Richard Widmark, and fondly remembered the late actor's love of pancakes. He used to have a plate waiting for him while shooting a scene, and Woods and Bridges would often hide it. Widmark refused to go back to shooting before the cakes had been recovered. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In "The Palace" scene where "Kid Creole & the Coconuts" are performing, Terry leaves the main floor and goes into Jake's office. The song playing in the background "Curiosity" skips a beat when heard muffled in Jake's office. moreSoundtrack:

The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it's theme song is one of Phil Collin's best. Too bad it was wasted on a movie that had an extraordinarily thin plot with a less than satisfactory anti-climatic ending. After investing your time trying to figure everything out and what's going on, the ending will hugely disappoint you. The chemistry between the actors is blah at best and the script's dialog is as elementary as the plot. It's not worth the time or effort to watch. You're better off listening to the Phil Collins song over and over again. Yet another 80's movie where the theme song is the only good thing about it (see also Caddyshack 2, Over the Top, Chariots of Fire, and many more that I can't think of right now) 2 out of 10 b/c the song makes it only slight better than Mo' Money)
