    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Charlie Sheen was injured when a squib hardened overnight and was detonated at the wrong time. He received lacerations to his face and was knocked unconscious. He received nine stitches, and was deaf in one ear for four weeks.
    • Goofs
      After the chase between the Porsche and the Camaro, when the Porsche gets banged up pretty bad on the right side and a window is blown out by a shotgun, the Porsche is driven into the chop shop and it doesn't have a scratch on it. In the next scene the right front end of the car is shown and it's a slightly lighter/paler color and appears to have scratches, although it looks more like mud splashes or painted-on damage than scratches.

    middle of the road
    In San Diego, Lieutenant Vincent Bracey (Randy Quaid) is trying to take down a Porsche stealing ring which recently killed a cop. He recruits rookie Benjy Taylor (D. B. Sweeney) to infiltrate the gang. Benjy quickly gets a job working as a Porsche mechanic. Rich playboy Ted Varrick (Charlie Sheen) brings him into the car stealing world. Ann Varrick (Lara Harris) is his sister.

    This is a middling crime thriller. It's not terrible but it's not terribly good. Sheen is the perfect rich playboy with criminal intent. Sweeney is ok. The first plot hole is that one doesn't need to be an ace mechanic to steal cars. An ace mechanic would be more useful inside the chop shop. It does have some fair car stunts. All in all, this is alright.
