    • Trivia
      The lengthy car chase footage featured throughout "The Big Sweat" is actually just footage licensed (or stolen) from H.B. Halicki's car chase / car crash masterpiece "Gone in 60 Seconds" (1974) with the poorly edited interior cutaways being the only new footage. The fact that "The Big Sweat" is from 1991 makes the clearly mid-'70s shot car chase footage stand out like a piece of bright pink bubble gum stuck to a black-and-white photograph, especially when none of the actors' clothing, props, location, hairstyles or vehicles match the other footage in the slightest.
    • Goofs
      During a scene around the halfway point of the movie, the main character's white car drives towards the left side of the screen, and the entire film crew can be seen in the reflection of the windows, as it passes by.
    • Quotes

      Troudou: Marco. My name starts with a "T" and it sounds slightly French.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, the producer, Joanne Watkins, is listed after the director, Ulli Lommel.

    The Big Sweat got me cold

    I had no idea what was going on the whole time. Why would anyone care about this guy who steals money from a bank. He isn't cool and he has no personality whatsoever. This movie is just a really boring beginning and then a car cash that really goes no where. I mean are we suppose to be in the 70's but have car phones.

    Anyway even with Robert Z'dar this movie does not have any valid point to watch. The ending ends something that never began. I usually like bad movies but this movie takes the cake. LOL its seem like it took them 1 day to film the entire movie. There is no tense moments at all.

    I seriously doubt anyone liking this movie but if you want to watch it do it because you are wanting to watch one of the most boring and bizarre plots ever.

    I don't know how to describe this movie but if I did I would help you out
