Short description
Terry Brogan, a cynical former football star, is hired to find Jessie Wyler, the runaway mistress of ruthless LA nightclub owner Jake Wise. But trouble brews when he tracks down and falls in love with the beautiful Jessie on a Mexican island—and Jake dispatches his henchman to bring the lovers back.
What's left behind the scenes
- The picturesque locations chosen for filming in Yucatan and Mexico included Cozumel Island, a fishing village on a beautiful island near the resort town of Cancun, ancient ruins on the Caribbean coast, and the famous ruins of the city of Chichen Itza in the jungle. It was the first feature film to receive permission from the Mexican government to film in the ruins.
- It is claimed that the black Ferrari and red Porsche in the chase scene were specially modified in California for high-speed racing and equipped with tripod mounts for the camera.
- Jeff Bridges' image and appearance were subsequently used in creating the 35-year-old Clu in Joseph Kosinski's superhero film "Tron: Legacy" (2010). When Bridges starred in "Against All Odds" (Taylor Hackford, 1984), he was around 34 years old.
- Jane Greer (1924-2001), who played the mother in this film, played Kitty in Jacques Tourneur's (1904-1977) film noir "Out of the Past" (1947), which this film is a remake of. The daughter in the remake is named Jessie and is played by Rachel Ward. Paul Valentine played the advisor in the remake, while in the 1947 film he played Joe Stefanos.
- Jeff Bridges was in good physical shape, however, his size and build were not what is required of a professional American football player.
- Taylor Hackford wanted to cast Jeff Bridges in the 1982 drama 'An Officer and a Gentleman,' but the actor was busy filming three major projects at the time and didn't have the availability. Envisioning the character of Terry for this film, the director had always believed Bridges would play him.
