    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Danny Trejo makes a brief appearance as a tough convict murdered by Emerald (Basil Wallace), witnessed by Frank (Rutger Hauer).
    • Goofs
      If you get separated from your wedlock partner for more than 100 yards, the wedlock starts beeping first, and you have couple of seconds to get back within 100 yards, as demonstrated multiple times during the movie. So, why didn't somebody just step over the line for a few seconds, and then find out whose wedlock beeped? Then, they could escape any time they wanted.
    • Quotes
      • [Frank is using Sam as a shield as Noelle aims a gun at him]
      • Frank: Did you do it for Noelle, or for the money?
      • Sam: She is cute, isn't she?
      • [Noelle shoots Sam]
      • Sam: Ahh! You hit me, you bitch!
      • Noelle: Sorry honey, but I did it for the money.
      • Frank: Looks like she fucked us both.
      • Sam: Yeah. Hey, you want her back?
    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits end with the sounds of the wedlock collar's warning alarm and an explosion.
    • Alternate versions
      In Germany only a cut version was released to avoid an FSK 18 rating
