    • Goofs
      When Strang is fighting Power on the beach he is using a wooden boat hook (with only a metal hook on the end). When the shaft of the boat hook and the sword clash they make the sound of metal on metal.
    • Quotes

      Strang: [in italian] I pity those who have not looked upon your face. How barren their dreams must be.

      Anne Kennedy: That's beautiful. What does it mean?

      Strang: What?

      Anne Kennedy: ...What does it mean?

      Strang: oh... well... it's an old Italian proverb

      Anne Kennedy: Yes, but what does it mean?

      Strang: well, well... it means... well it actually means "Landlord, bring me another bowl of your finest pickled eggs"

    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, cuts required to sight of 2 men hanging by necks in execution scene, on grounds of potentially harmful imitable technique, category standards and Video Recordings Act 1984, in order to obtain a 12 classification. An uncut classification was not available.

    fun to watch

    Abduction Club is a well-made film and it is entertaining until the last minute. Predictable? Yes. Corny? Maybe so. But it is funny in a witty way and is romantic in a nice, acceptable way. The characters are likeable, the cinematography is in its place, and everything else is. So what's wrong with this picture? Nothing I say, accomplished what it was aimed for.
