    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director Wim Wenders re-edited his film after the Cannes Film Festival premiere to improve the narrative structure.
    • Goofs
      When Page is holding Mike at gunpoint she holds the gun upward with the bottom of the handle facing outward and the ammo clip is clearly missing. Yet when Mike exits through the patio door she fires the gun and shatters the glass.

      Obviously there was a bullet in the chamber.
    • Quotes
      • Mike Max: Perversely. That's one thing I think I can define now. It's when things are upside down and you start to like 'em that way.
