Short description

Mark Kaminsky is kicked out of the FBI for his rough treatment of a suspect. He winds up as the sheriff of a small town in North Carolina. FBI Chief Harry Shannon, whose son has been killed by a mobster named Patrovina, enlists Kaminsky in a personal vendetta with a promise of reinstatement into the FBI if Patrovina is taken down. To accomplish this, he must go undercover and join Patrovina's gang.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger stated in one interview that this was the first film in which his character wore a modern suit, and that until then, the costumes for his characters cost around $10.
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger only agreed to star in the film after lengthy disagreements and in exchange for a promise to terminate his agreement with Dino de Laurentis to film a certain number of movies. He had only one film remaining on his contract, and he actually wanted to star in Paul Verhoeven's "Total Recall" (1990), but Dino de Laurentis objected, stating that he was not suitable for the role of Quaid and that Patrick Swayze (1952-2009) had already been cast.
  • It took Arnold Schwarzenegger several months to learn how to walk and swing both arms simultaneously.
  • A more accurate translation of the title is "Unfair Deal".
  • In the scene where Schwarzenegger's character blows up his car on the grounds of an industrial plant, the oil tanks are labeled IRVIN OIL COMPANY. The film's director is named John Irwin.
