* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Aroon's base is apparently located in Bastia, a small village near Bordeaux. In reality, Bastia is nowhere near Bordeaux, being located on the island of Corsica and can hardly be described as a small village, seeing that it is the second largest town of the island.

Seagal; plays Marshall Lawson, the leader of some elite paramilitary force. After an opening with the credits superimposed over some blurred footage of what appear to be strippers dancing, we cut to him and his team blowing up and shooting some bad guys whose identity is never explained at what appears to be an abandoned warehouse. Next thing, they're in GayParee, and two men from the team get massacred in their hotel room by a hooker they pick up in a strip club. Marshall, investigating the deaths, gets tangled up in some impenetrable plot involving a bad guy dumping a [[PsychoSerum drug called CTX into the city's water supply to turn the inhabitants into savage killers]]. [[MindScrew Or something]].

Added DiffLines:

* CoversAlwaysLie: Seagal's leather jacket he wears in the above DVD cover? Not in the movie. Although it's clearly because that's a body double from an unrelated film, with Seagal's head photoshopped on the neck.


Added DiffLines:

* FightUnscene: Given the movie's budget and rushed schedule, most of the action set pieces ends up like this, being shot in darkness, with a lot of close-ups and choppy editing.
