Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe novel "Blood on the Moon" upon which the movie is based was rejected by 17 publishers due to its violent content.
- GoofsLesley Ann Warren chain-smokes throughout the movie but is clearly a non-smoker. She never handles the cigarette like a smoker would, constantly takes puffs without inhaling, picking up and putting the cigarette down constantly when a real smoker would hold it. It's just obvious she's not comfortable with the cigarette.
- Quotes
Lloyd Hopkins: [Last lines] Well, there's some good and there's some bad news. The good news is you're right - I'm a cop and I've gotta take you in. The bad news is I've been suspended and I don't give a fuck.

Featured review
Woods is too much!!!
If you are a big fan of James Wood's work than please go to your video store right now and rent this gem. You see I'm more into the performance side of a film, not the writing or story (even though it does help). Trust me, you've seen it all before. An over-the-top detective (Woods) gets caught up in a murder case which takes over his professional and private life. With the clues stacking up, Woods begins to believe that he is not only dealing with a murderer but a serial killer as well, who preys on females. This opinion on the matter doesn't sit well with his captain or coworkers, except one, a long time friend named Dutch. As the film moves along you begin to notice that Woods is a womanizer who usually ends up in bed with the witnesses. Everything Woods did made me laugh. I know this probably isn't "right" of me but he is just so FUNNY!! Even in a serious murder mystery such as this, I still can't help it. This film also contains one of the quickest endings I've seen in a long time. It's great!! Trust me though, I won't give it away. Thanks for reading.
