** The Drug Baron, in general. The film clearly wants to portray him as a menacing, charismatic and classy villain in the vein of someone like Creator/LanceHenriksen in Film/HardTarget but the ultra low budget, terrible dialogue and Michael Regan's completely wooden and non-charismatic performance which make clear that he was only cast because he put up some of the money for the budget make him impossible to take seriously as a threat.

* * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Just before the final battle (and the infamous car crash), a man in a cowboy hat and a speedo appears, takes off his speedo and jumps into a heated open-air bathtub (which is literally just an old bathtub propped over an open flame). The scene then changes to Jimmy driving and shooting at the Drug Lord bodyguards before crashing his car. After the crash and the ensuing explosion, the naked cowboy jumps out of his bathtub and runs off screen. His sudden presence in the film is never explained and he is never seen again. Bizarrely enough, he's ''credited'' for the role.
