    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      10-year-old actress Judith Barsi would be killed along with her mother, Maria, on July 25, 1988. It was ruled a double murder-suicide committed in their home by her father, József Barsi.
    • Goofs
      In the scene with the dead paramedics, the bottom paramedic blinks right before the camera passes by him.

      He wasn't pronounced as dead. Clearly he was alive a little bit at that point.
    • Quotes
      • J.B. Deveraux: I'm gonna put this truck right up his ass.
    • Alternate versions
      German version was cut by 22 seconds to remove a few shots of gore, this is done in order to get a "not under 18" rating from the FSK, but nonetheless it still got BPjM indexed anyway. Subsequent German TV airings were similarly shortened for violence reasons. Although despite being removed from the index list back in 2016, only just now in February of 2024 was the uncut version granted a "not under 16" rating.
