[edit] "Based on a true story"?!

"Based on a true story, the movie begins, James Bond-style, as secret agent" That is how this article starts. I don't think this movie is based on a true story... DurotarLord 19:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random chatter

And it's very amusing. I found it quite funny when the gun falls down the stairs and it randomly shoots all of the bad guys. LOL --Spam 01:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I doubt this film was written by Cameron, since it's a cover of the '80s French movie "La Totale". See IMDB profile for more info. --Julien 15:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which agency Harry works for

Under the Trivia section, I believe this comment is incorrect: "It is deliberately never mad eclear which government agency Harry works for." In the first act, when Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold go to their office for the first time to meet with Charlton Heston, they enter by walking across a CIA-type emblem on a marble floor which reads "Omega Section -- The Last Line of Defense." Harry works for a fictional top-secret agency.

[edit] Plot summary

At about 1350 words, the plot summary of this article had become much too large and was recently tagged as such. To remedy this I have replaced it with a much briefer (650 words) summary from an earlier revision [1]. I have also retained the image of Eliza Dushku which was apparently embedded in the summary after the time of the earlier revision. --Tony Sidaway 17:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

I love the intro. Half of it is devoted to the fucking logo !
