I was in the movie too. I was one of the cops that drove up and jumped out of the driver's side and got shot. (We actually were cops and used our assigned police car) It was partially filmed in an empty lot and building in Portsmouth beside the MLK freeway. Also, I was the k-9 officer searching the body near the pier. This was at Billy Franklin's house in Virginia Beach.
If you freeze frame the movie you will see that the police car that blows up is little plastic model on a cinder-block. It even had an LAPD logo (from the model kit) on the side. I found a VHS copy of the move on the net about 6 or so years ago. I just found it packed away in a box from when I moved. I can't wait to watch it again.
I gave it a 10 (excellent) rating because it was so fun to be a "movie star" for a day.
