- TriviaWhen this film premiered at the 1986 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, reels three and four were sequentially reversed by Sundance staffer and IATSE projectionist David Nelson. Most critics and viewers said that they didn't notice the mistake in what they called an otherwise disappointing film. One of the filmmakers demanded that the incomplete premiere be stopped, and it wasn't rescheduled, the only such film in festival history to do so.
- GoofsThe character portrayed by Denzel Washington has the surname Billings. In the end credits, the character's surname is spelled Billing.
- Quotes
Arnold Billings: [about Pete and Ellen, slamming phone down] They are now in his room fucking.
- Crazy creditsThe billing of the character name of Arnold Billings, played by actor Denzel Washington in the film, is incorrectly spelled in the movie's credits as Arnold Billing.
Featured review
...the doors opened and fresh air rushed in as a weary audience trudged sleepily from the theater to the parking lot.
"Power" is powerful medicine for those unable to get some sleep. Buy this as a CD or VHS and keep it in your bedroom for those nights when you are wide awake.
Those who liked the film did so because they find a political reason for it. It was written in the 1980s and apparently for no particular reason at all other than to make some quick bucks...which it did not.
Reviewers and public held the project in such low esteem that only a few critics and political zealots bother to comment on it.
