Trivia:

The building used for the Spanish Palms Mortuary is actually the milk plant for McArthur Dairy. They added a fake facade that matches the architecture to crash the ambulance through.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the shootout in the Haitian hideout, we clearly see the guy in the yellow t-shirt shot in the head. However, seconds later, we see him walking on set and crouching down, reflected in a mirror over Mike's left shoulder just as he's shooting the tear gas canister.

Quotes:

Marcus Burnett: I think we just broke the record for the number of gun fights in one week.

Didn't Mean

What do you expect?!?!?!!!!

I hate reading these reviews putting this movie down. This movie kicked ass plain and simple. It's a fun movie to watch and enjoy!!! Sure, there's not much of a plot but if you wanted that why would you go to see this film?? The only reason to see this film is because you want 2 1/2 hours of entertainment!!! That's what this is, pure fun.
