- With respect to Kim Coates, Taylor Nagron is everything wanted from the award, in the best performance of his career.
- He is one of the better bad guys, walking out of a burning car in a pool to keep shooting people; he is mesmerizing, and it is surprising he did not become a bigger star.
- His formal-introductions scene set up the ironic, funny but scary villain later seen in Conair; Alan Rickman may have invented it, but Negron showed a lesser-known actor could do it.
- Negron was a Los Angeles stand-up comic seen on Letterman and in Punchline; a modern equivalent would be Kyle Mooney.
- Lines like 'Officer, there are too many bullets in this gun' push the movie to another level.
