Dead or Alive picture

Trivia: There are two versions of the DVD available in the US, an R-Rated edition and the uncut original edition. One funny thing about the cut R-rated edition is that in the opening montage scene, despite the footage of the homosexual gangster raping the busboy having been taken out, you can still hear the audio and sound effects overlapping the other shots in the scene.

Teaching Mrs. Tingle picture

Trivia: Helen Mirren has given different reasons for taking the part of Mrs. Tingle. She was reportedly intrigued by the devilish role because it was unlike anything else she had ever played, and she enjoyed how the film showed the turbulence of adolescence. She also quipped that she got paid a "shitload of money" and that it was an easy job because she spend most of the film tied to a bed in a comfy nightgown making catty comments.

Trivia: Anytime there is an overhead shot of the LAPD police cars, number 664 is always there. ML even drives it at one point, and I think in one shot where he chases the armoured car, its number is 664.

Bravo Two Zero picture

Trivia: "Mark" in the film is in reality Mike Coburn, who wrote his own account of Bravo Two Zero. Another writer and ex-SAS, Michael Asher (in "The real Bravo Two Zero") travelled to the area of events and found a different truth than in "McNab's" book. For example that Andy McNab is not his real name, that the cab was not a New York cab but a Toyota Crown and that there is actually no evidence that the patrol ever got into any big fire fights at all. Names and cars are minor discrepancies but the fights are way off what could be called "real events". The film is rather true to the book by "McNab" but not all true to the real events as told by other members and fact finders.
