Not really my kind of film, but this looks like a nice, self-contained article - if a little short. Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2019 (UTC)


 * "Retrospectively, the film has attracted a cult following." According to one of its stars - this should probably be attributed to him, unless you have a third-party source.
 * Although Rifkin is kinda of a cult director, I agree with your point. Fixed.


 * There's a little too much repetition of "critics", "criticize" and similar in the second paragraph of the lead.
 * Replaced critics with journalists.


 * Do you have a reference for the cast list?
 * The cast list was taken from the film credits, which is a primary source. I can explicitly cite the film credits if it's really an issue.


 * "without clearance and stunt drivers filling in for actors Charlie Sheen and Henry Rollins" Without stunt drivers or with them?
 * Should be clearer now.


 * ""attention-hungry, gung-hop" cop" Could you check that quote?
 * Paraphrased and replaced with attention-seeking.


 * "but criticized the love story due to the film's limited scope" What does this mean?
 * Should be clearer now.


 * "dismiss her character" What does this mean?
 * Replaced with "does not contribute to her characterization".


 * "The Austin Chronicle agreed" and "The publication concluded that": Could you perhaps attribute this to the particular critic rather than the publication?
 * Done


 * "always receives mails" Received? Also, why mails?
 * Fixed

This looks really nice on a first read-through. Please double-check my edits. I'll be back for a closer look at a few things soon. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:13, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your review, really appreciated. I also double-checked your copy-edits and I'm very happy with them. I think I haved fixed all the issues you brought up and left some comments above. Please let me know what you think. --Niwi3 (talk) 20:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Ok; images look good. The film gets a passing mention on the first page of this article, which I think would be a nice citation to add. Three things jump out: 1) It's apparently a remake, which isn't mentioned in this article? 2) A link to road film would be a nice addition; and 3) You could add the tagline with a reference to the article. There's also a useful little write-up about the film here - perhaps you could draw a few things from that? Josh Milburn (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Remake of what? Perhaps The Chase (1991 film)? I wouldn't take the author's words for granted because Rifkin did not say the film was a remake when he conceived it. It's certainly a vague coincidence because the film has a very generic title, and the fact that the source does not determine an original film makes it even more questionable. I would ignore it unless we find another source. However, I added a few other bits that I thought were important. Thank you for the new sources, really appreciated. --Niwi3 (talk) 11:48, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. Without the author specifying what it's a remake of, I don't think there's much we can do with the information. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm very happy with your responses above, and I think the article is looking very good. I'm happy to promote. Great working with you - and sorry you had to wait so long for a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:03, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, thank you for your time. --Niwi3 (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
