Trivia
J.A. Steel told Femme Fatales magazine that she originally wrote the script with a more diverse set of characters, including a black male police captain called MacGregor and a female main character called Sanchez with martial arts skills. But when she started showing the script to development directors, they kept saying they liked it but everything was "too ethnic." One also told her to change Sanchez to a white woman with large breasts and give her fight scenes to the male characters. That's when Steel decided to finance the movie herself, though she did make Sanchez a white woman and changed her name to Jones.

So much to like here!

I've been a big fan of J. A. Steele's film "Salvation" for a long time, and now I'm happy to report that I'm also a big fan of "The Third Society". This is a great example of an independent filmmaker really giving it their all. The scope and scale of the movie was a lot bigger than I was expecting, with fight scenes, airplanes, helicopters, motorcycles and more. The DVD also has some great behind the scenes features, where Steel and others involved with the film give an honest assessment of what worked in the movie and what didn't. Watching this in 2022, there's a certain nostalgia for movies made during this time period in the early 2000's. If you're a fan of indie action flicks, definitely check this one out! J. A. Steel is a certified bad ass.
