    • Trivia
      Shame tells the bodyguard/thug "say hello to Arnold for me" before hitting him with the gun. Sven-Ole Thorsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger knew each other from bodybuilding competitions, and Schwarzenegger introduced Thorsen to the movie business. Thorsen has appeared on-screen in nine Schwarzenegger movies, and has done stunts and training for actors and stuntmen in many others.
    • Goofs
      Before shaving completely bald at the end of the movie, Shame's haircut is different in almost every shot.
    • Quotes
      • Shame: Ooh, silk drawers and a red tie. I gotta wear these together! Get off me ladies. I hear those ladies callin' my name, 'Shame, Shame!' Leave me alone, stop tuggin' at my silk drawers, don't love me like you do!
