      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        Richard Roundtree says no words in this film
      • Goofs
        At one point in the film, a character uses a revolver which has been equipped with a silencer (or something supposed to look like one). Silencers, however, do not work on revolvers, as there are several places besides the muzzle of a revolver that gas and noise would escape, rendering the silencer superfluous.
      • Quotes
        • Christakis: Michael, find me a man who is willing to risk his life for a million dollars.
        • Spiros: Perhaps we need a man who lives outside the law?
        • Christakis: Well of course, Michael, as usual you are right. What we need is a crook. We need a man who is bathed in dragons blood. A man with little hazard of duplication.
        • Spiros: Fleming, Sir?
        • Christakis: Yes. Yes, Fleming. The man for this job is Mr. Thomas Fleming.
