    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The lengthy car chase footage featured throughout "The Big Sweat" is actually just footage licensed (or stolen) from H.B. Halicki's car chase / car crash masterpiece "Gone in 60 Seconds" (1974) with the poorly edited interior cutaways being the only new footage. The fact that "The Big Sweat" is from 1991 makes the clearly mid-'70s shot car chase footage stand out like a piece of bright pink bubble gum stuck to a black-and-white photograph, especially when none of the actors' clothing, props, location, hairstyles or vehicles match the other footage in the slightest.
    • Goofs
      During a scene around the halfway point of the movie, the main character's white car drives towards the left side of the screen, and the entire film crew can be seen in the reflection of the windows, as it passes by.
    • Quotes
      • Troudou: Marco. My name starts with a "T" and it sounds slightly French.
    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, the producer, Joanne Watkins, is listed after the director, Ulli Lommel.
