    • Trivia
      This was the first Steven Seagal film released direct to video (although it did receive a theatrical release in some countries). After Half Past Dead (2002), all of his subsequent movies were released straight to video, although that trend was broken with Machete (2010).
    • Goofs
      Wesley McClaren breaks the stem off an empty wine glass to defend himself, but in previous shots it was full.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Wesley McClaren: [to Holly while entering the reception room at the hospital] Get your homework done and if there are any guys in here no flirting. No dating until you are 40.

    • Alternate versions
      The German FSK16 version is cut in 1 scene by 2 seconds. In the FSK16 version you miss the scene, where Seagal stabs the broken Glas into the head of his enemy.

    Passable Seagal

    I've seen a lot of Steven Seagal movies. I enjoy a lot of them. But I have to be honest, I don't always know if "laughing with him or at him". If you know what I'm saying. Steven Seagal in "The Patriot" is the Seagal I like best. He speaking quietly of "important" issues and then throws some guy through a window. He's a modern day Billy Jack and, every now and then, I need that. "The Patriot" is not Seagal's finest hour but it's not one of his weak ones either. It okay. It gets a passing grade.
