Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the owner of "Black Moon" is describing the car at The Betsy, he says the body is made from "Kelvar". The super-strong plastic is "Kevlar", not Kelvar. moreSoundtrack:

No Tommy Lee Jones fan should miss this outing. While it's not great cinema, it IS great fun. The action is top-notch and the characters are appealing. The relationship between Jones and Hamilton is surprising well-balanced for an 80s action film and some of the lines are definitely ones to put in the memory bank and quote. It has a bit of everything for a fun rent (or purchase) - action, romance, coldly wicked villains, a flawed hero, a strong heroine, humor and a bit of pathos. (Watch the emotions play across Jones' face in his conversation with Keenan Wynn.) It's a favorite in my circle of film fans.
