  • The actress playing Rianne has eight IMDb credits, four of them Lethal Weapon; she married and had kids; she is seen as a good actress but too old for the part.
  • Prime Lisa Bonet could have done this instead of Angel Heart.
  • The doctor could be Mimi Rogers with some sexual tension with Riggs; one host likes Mary Ellen Trainor but sees the point.
  • The General is 'the winner for this': Sam Shepard, Harry Dean Stanton, or DeVal paid for three days to do his Apocalypse Now scene.
  • Even a Road House-style over-the-top town-owner villain would have been more enjoyable.
