- An Amazonian blonde woman is questioned as the best front for crimes obscured by a cipher-based code. — Chris Ryan
- She wears no mask, and every witness, from Bogomil to the jewelry store, remembers a six-foot-one blonde, making her the most distinctive-looking woman in Los Angeles; she then turns up at the gun club.
- Axel again has no sex life.
- A cement truck appears seconds after Axel tells Billy to get a car, one of the worst edits in a Murphy movie, and such a truck could hardly catch anything.
- Dean Stockwell’s character is a needless hat on a hat, and the Carlos-is-really-Charles clue feels too simple for 1987.
