This was my 2nd produced script. I went to the set and talked to Charlie Sheen and he said "I loved your script, that's why I did this after Platoon. But what we're shooting is crap." I thought he was kidding. Still, all these years later, there's some charm to the whole enterprise, but the reviews made me promise to never let someone else direct my work. The lead character Paul Tracey is named for a best friend of mine, who sadly passed a couple of years back. But he'll always live on in Charlie's performance.
