- Alternate versionsThe European version and American version each contain different footage:
- In the American version, Donna and Jay kiss longer, about ten seconds longer than the European version.
- In the European version, the sex scene is much longer with Donna moving on top of Ray, about one minute longer than the American version.
- ConnectionsEdited into NCIS (2003)
The biggest mistake therefore is made in casting for this movie. They should have cast a more macho kinda actor, like Bruce Willis or James Woods and not some whimp. On Imdb's Trivia section I read that initially Kevin Costner was casted as the other leading role. But to great dismay of Sean Connery (he was furious) another actor replaced Kevin Costner at the last minute.
This movie is still quite enjoyable, although it could have been a lot better with a different actor opposing Sean Connery.
The whole movie is about two macho guys (one military, one police) butting heads against each other while trying to solve a murder case. There is some charming budding romance plot with Meg Ryan to be enjoyed as well, although it stays somewhat superficial and hasnt any real merit to the story.
