Green-faced police sergeant


Did anyone notice that the (black) police sergeant/captain who gives the 2 good cops a dressing-down in the office was wearing green face paint, except around his eyes? What is the meaning of this I wonder?

This is an excellent insight - worth reading! >

Worse was the black police captain who has a sign on his door reading "Captain Green". Well, his makeup under the fluorescent lights turned him green on film, and he gives a long speech with his name sign in full view. I figured they would correct his face color in the timing of the final print using the right filter. But they didn't and audiences would yell out "Look! Captain Green IS green."

Wow! That's a great article. Thanks a lot. I had to laugh when I read this:

"We then added some bizarre action scenes, such as the three killers coming into a karate dojo with samurai swords and wiping everyone out. This was inspired from Kurasawa's "Sanjuro"."

And I disagree strongly about this:

"The worst part of the movie was the music. Crown used the same low budget company to do the music. It ended up being an irritating, repetitive, electronic score. Many people have mention how much the music hurt the movie."

That was a masterpiece of analogue electronica. It's original and refreshing, and that synth sound is simply amazing. I'd love to have a VSTi version of that synth.

Yes, I like the music - eerie and menacing - with some great sounds.

Yes, I and a friend noticed his colour also!

In fact I just came on to this board to see if anyone else had noticed!

I noticed it, and found it hilarious.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
