Trivia
This movie was to have been the third collaboration between writer Tom Holland and director Richard Franklin (following Psycho II (1983) & Cloak & Dagger (1984)) but with his career on the rise, Franklin ultimately decided it would be unwise to helm such a low-budget film.

Goofs
The Chrysler is traveling over 60 mph with the accelerator stuck and non-operable brakes when it goes through the Church's Chicken parking lot appears to be going much slower then speeds up when it gets back into the road.

Quotes
Christie Cromwell: [to Karen] Fine, don't believe me, just wait until he kills you.

The obscure "Winner" by Michael Winner

Between Death Wish II and Death Wish 3, Winner made this quickly forgotten thriller with a no name cast. It has the same over the top approach as his much more famous works, with so many memorable scenes and dialogue written by Tom Holland, best known for Fright Night and Child's Play. It's easily one of the most watchable bad movies of the 80's, so it's a huge shame that this is not on DVD. I would buy it immediately and play it for everyone i know. If you like R rated politically incorrect Nancy Drew mysteries that were made by your perverted uncle.... If you like Lifetime Original Movies on crack... If you want to see an even more outrageous version of The Stepfather, then this movie is for you.
