Shame tells the bodyguard/thug (played by Sven-Ole Thorsen) to "say hello to Arnold for me" before hitting him with the gun. Thorsen has appeared on screen in nine different Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, did stunts and training for actors and stuntmen in many others, and was actually introduced to the movie business by Arnold, who knew him from when they used to do bodybuilding competitions together.

Peaches Jordan: Well Whatever. I liked you. And I was only 16 and I knew it wouldnt work. Now, I'm 22 going on 23. Can't you see how much I've grown?
