Did this film go straight to video?


I don't remember hearing anything about it in theaters.

It definitely played in theaters back in 1987, but the public ignored it. As a result, it had a very short run. Such a shame, because everybody missed out on seeing a terrific action thriller. I'm not so sure if it even did well as a video rental.

I would have loved to've seen this one in the theaters, it's one of my favorite movies. Yeah, it's a small film, a sleeper that hardly anyone else even knows about, but for me, that's part of it's charm. The thing is mine, and hardly anyone else's.

Love it. :-/

I would have loved to have seen this in theaters also. I vaguely remember this being released and disappearing rather quickly. Good film with great performances.
