𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙖 · 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 · 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 A Las Vegas mob enforcer travels back to his hometown to investigate his brother's mysterious death. Years ago, Jack Carter left his Seattle home to become a Las Vegas mob casino financial enforcer. He returns for the funeral of his brother Richard "Richie" after a car crash during a storm, atypical of the careful house-father. Talking to the widow, daughter Doreen, and enigmatic Geraldine, Jack suspects it was murder. Cliff Brumby, whose club Richie ran, is financially linked to porn and prostitution baron Cyrus Paice, who claims to be just a front-man for ITC tycoon Jeremy Kinnear. Someone hired goon Thorpey to make Jack return to Las Vegas. Jack's partner Con McCarty is restless, apparently about their boss Les Fletcher, whose wife had an affair with Jack. Someone breaks into Richie's home, looking for a crucial CD.
Movie Trivia
One of the reasons why Sir Michael Caine agreed to appear in this remake to one of his best movies as it afforded him the chance to work with his friend, Sylvester Stallone. The two had bonded when they made John Huston's Victory (1981).
Franchise Pictures was reluctant to cast Mickey Rourke, in light of his troubled past as a Hollywood bad boy. Friend Sylvester Stallone, who put Rourke up for the role, guaranteed a portion of his salary, so if Rourke did cause any delays or problems, the production would be covered. Rourke turned up every day on time, and was a complete professional. His work impressed Franchise enough that they hired him shortly after for their next movie, The Pledge (2001).
For the flashback scenes that show Richie's murder, Stephen Kay wanted the film to look grainy and damaged, so he asked Deluxe, the film processor, to think outside the box. Happy to oblige, the techs at Deluxe tied the film to the back of a car and drove it around their parking lot, creating the scratched look. The experiment was short-lived when a Deluxe executive saw it, and ordered them to stop, fearing it would give the company a bad name.
Sir Michael Caine, who plays Cliff Brumby in this movie, played Jack Carter in Get Carter (1971).
