Stories about on-set fights between Rutger Hauer and Sylvester Stallone are still talked about amongst fans of this movie and both actors. In his autobiography, Hauer stated that Stallone had come off a recent string of box office bombs, and was in desperate need of a hit movie. Hauer felt that many of the on-set clashes stemmed from Stallone's constant efforts to keep tight control over every aspect of the film's production (such as replacing original director Gary Nelson with Bruce Malmuth). However, Hauer also said during interviews in later years that he actually didn't take his arguments with Stallone personally, and that the biggest problem during filming was that it was a very difficult movie to make. From his part, Stallone has expressed deep regret over his behavior in the 1980s during a 2014 interview, stating that the success of Rocky (1976) had made him "insufferable"; by his own admission, he "abused power and was an authority on everything", ", and wished that he "could go back and punch myself in the face"

Spotty, predictable, decent performances (especially Rutger Hauer) and overall generally likeable. It suffers a little with poor direction and odd choices of when to slow the pace. The plot is oddly premoniatory for the subsequent decades. Aside from its age and the cheap budget, it's a solid enough watch. 6/10

Typical Stallone when he was best known for this kind of stuff. Dated and not easy to watch by today's standards, by any means, but it was probably a hot item in its time. I would give this one a pass, even for the most die-hard Stallone fans; he was so much better in other movies and just didn't carry this role that well. It definitely starts to drag in several places (enough that I fell asleep watching it) and I just didn't find it interesting enough to merit recommending it. Give it a pass.
