| Extreme Prejudice | comment |
Walter Hill's 1987 homage to Sam Peckinpah movies in general (and The Wild Bunch in particular).Texas Ranger Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte) is struggling to stem the tide of illegal drugs in his Texas bordertown. Making his job even more difficult, his former childhood friend Cash Bailey (Powers Boothe) is now a major drug kingpin, his girlfriend Sarita (Maria Conchita Alonso) still has feelings for Bailey, and a team of black ops commandos (Michael Ironside, Clancy Brown, William Forsythe, to name but a few) keep getting underfoot. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Jack Benteen is based on legendary Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson. Nick Nolte spent several weeks with Jackson, and modeled his mannerisms and costumes on the Ranger's. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Extreme Prejudice / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: TriStar Pictures studio executives disliked the first version of theatrical trailer so they made their own. However, their version of the trailer made the movie look like it's ex-soldiers vs Texas Ranger type of movie, which it isn't. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music for original trailer but after it was rejected the track which he composed was not used. Instead the trailer which was released included two tracks from other movies; "Paul's Theme" by Giorgio Moroder from Cat People and "Evacuation" by Mike Oldfield from The Killing Fields. | |

Death Faked for You | |
| Extreme Prejudice / int_369a1bf6 | comment |
Death Faked for You: The Zombie Unit are all officially listed as "killed in action", "missing in action" or killed in accidents with their bodies unrecognizable. Unfortunately they go up against a Texas Ranger who can access US military records, causing him to ask why he's got several 'dead' US soldiers in his lockup. Which is why this trope is purely Rule of Drama; a better means of establishing Plausible Deniability would be to have the soldiers discharged under fake disciplinary charges. | |
