    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Christian Bale had used Nicolas Cage's performance in this film as inspiration for his role as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000). The characters and films share striking similarities.
    • Goofs
      The film portrays Peter shooting himself in the mouth, then remaining unharmed because the gun is loaded with blanks. However, this action would actually cause severe injury or death, since a gun loaded with blanks will fire compressed gas with the force of a bullet.
