Did anyone else notice the similarities between Roger Mortis and "rigor mortis".. That was completely intentional, bah.

Coincidence? I think not!

Funny movie. Neat cast!

Film is full of great hidden comedic gems. I love this flick.

The screen writer, Terry Black, is good friend of mine. If you think Dead Heat is wild and crazy, you should meet Terry. He's incredible. So funny and fun to be around. He had a special showing of Dead Heat for his friends, and somehow he managed not to get there until the showing was over. LOL
Terry has done a lot of other work, main for TV since this film.

I forgot to mention that Terry is Shane Blacks brother. Shane wrote the Lethal Weapon films.

Hard to believe, as this was promoted as a serious crime drama
