    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The buildings where the foggy final showdown takes place are part of Bokor Hill Station, a colonial hill resort town built by the French in the 1920s. This site, on a mountain above Kampot in Southern Cambodia, included a church and Grand Bokor Palace, a hotel and casino. They were taken over by the Cambodian monarchs after the French left and were a Khmer Rouge stronghold against the Vietnamese. Today, the buildings are abandoned, crumbling and covered in red moss, but can still be visited.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the movie, Jimmy is lying in the back seat of the cab holding a green shirt in his hand. But later his face is covered by a red shirt. The cab driver wakes him up and Jimmy exits the cab and puts on a green shirt.
