Quotes:

[first lines]
Jamie: I think it's time you should get some help.
Richard Malone: Why? Because I let that man live?
Jamie: That man is the worst bastard that...
Richard Malone: I don't care! I've had enough. I want out.
Jamie: What am I supposed to tell our superiors?
Richard Malone: Tell them good bye.
Jamie: Look, you tought me as they tought you. One thing I've learned, nobody just walks away from the CIA.
Richard Malone: Watch me.

great 80's action no brainer

Even though some people state that this film is awful, but they are forgetting that most 80's action films where and this was one of many that was churned out then forgotten.

I vividly remember first watching this on video rental and thought it was brilliant and even though it's very dated I still love the film as an 80's classic like I would watch some old black and white film.

I don't feel I should have to wait until the film is 40 or 50 years old to claim it is an classic nor should I go with other persons comments that it is crap just because they are watching the film without growing up in the 80's when the film was made and is set in.
