The trail leads Luthan to the door of the eminent surgeon Lawrence Myrick (Gene Hackman), but Luthan soon finds himself in danger from people who want the hospital's secret to remain undiscovered.The film also features Sarah Jessica Parker as Jodie Trammel, nurse and trusted colleague of Guy. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Guy exposes Myrick's shady human experiments, but also possibly sets back a cure for spinal cord injuries by decades. However, Myrick's wife gives Guy all her husband's research data in the hope that Guy could finish what Dr. Myrick started in a more legal and ethical way. | |

Big Rotten Apple: And how. Aside from depicting the grittier side of New York, the film ventures well beneath the city. | |

Black Dude Dies First: Apparently, even villains aren't exempt from this trope—when Burke and Hare confront Guy in the tunnels, it's Burke who gets run over by a train while Hare continues to chase Guy. | |
