    • Trivia
      Intended as pilot for TV series but was not picked up by network.
    • Goofs
      At about 00:58:40, while climbing up the tower, at one point as he moves his hand to grab higher up, his fingerprints are seen on a spot that he hasn't reached yet. Nobody else would have put fingerprints on the side of the skyscraper either. This indicates that they had filmed more than one take of that moment of the movie without wiping off the fingerprints.

    A very good Pilot...too bad it did not take...

    Some people have put this show down, but I would love to have a copy of it.

    The premise may have been overdone...but the story worked well and the action sequences were great. I especially recall the guys standing in what they thought was back to back, only to find they were sharing it with the main character.

    Again...if anyone knows where to find this...let me know.
