- Quotes
Dennis Peck: [after decking Raymond in an elevator] Hi, Raymond!
[referring to Raymond's wife]
Dennis Peck: You know what she really wanted? You know? Yeah, I should have guessed. She liked it in the ass, Raymond. That's right. Right in the fucking ass! Drove her crazy. She came so much, for a second I thought she was going to pass out on me.
[decks Raymond again]
Dennis Peck: You know what they say about Latin fighters, Raymond? You know what they say? Too fucking MACHO! That's right. *Too fucking macho!* They don't backpedal when they have to. So they're used up. Young.
[dangles a pair of panties in front of Raymond, then gives them to him]
Dennis Peck: Yeah, why don't you clean yourself up with that. That's right. Clean yourself up.

Written and performed by Scott Reeder
My girlfriend's ex-husband worked on the set during production and she told me that the fight scenes in the film were real. Andy Garcia and Richard Gere really went at it in the elevator. The wounds they had were real, not fake. After filming had been completed, Garcia refused to attend the post-production party.
Knowing this, watch the film again. The tension between the two is palpable in just about every scene they're in together. Which makes for a pretty decent movie.
