Schwarzenegger did not do Raw Deal to get Total Recall, he signed a multi picture deal with Dino De Laurentis when he was just starting out, and his career was really picking up so he did Raw Deal to be released from his contract.

Nighthawks wasn't pre-Rocky, chief.<br>In fact, he had already made two of them before it.

Shoot to Kill was called Deadly Pursuit here in UK, it is a great movie, especially the screen with the bear!

I totally remember most of these movies. Action Jackson was good, but all I really remember about it is how totally fine Vanity was in the movie.
