Short description
Ten years after ratting on his old mobster friends in exchange for personal immunity, two hit men drive a hardened criminal to Paris for his execution. However, while on the way, whatever can go wrong, does go wrong.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, Joe Strummer, the frontman of The Clash, was considered for one of the roles. However, the other band members opposed this, so Strummer suggested Tim Roth for the part, whom he knew from the role of Trevor in Alan Clarke's crime drama "Made in Britain" (1983).
- In one of the scenes, the reflection of the film crew can be seen in the sunglasses of the characters played by John Hurt and Tim Roth.
- Terence Stamp was cast in the role of the professional hitman Willie Parker, although producer Jeremy Thomas would have preferred to see John Hurt in the role.
- Prior to the filming of this movie, which took place in Spain, Tim Roth had never traveled outside the United Kingdom. At the time, he did not have a driver's license and, consequently, no driving experience. This is why he lost control of the vehicle during the filming of the corresponding car scene.
