Trivia
The original script by Richard Di Lello took place in Chicago and was more about drug dealing than gang members. Dennis Hopper ordered changes, so Michael Schiffer was hired and the setting was changed to Los Angeles and the focus of the story became more about the world of gang members. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: When Hodges calls in to radio dispatch that they are chasing a black Ford LTD, it is actually a Mercury Marquis that they are chasing. See more »Quotes
