Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1986 action movie produced by Dino De Laurentiis, directed by John Irvin (Hamburger Hill), and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.Mark Kaminsky (Schwarzenegger) is working a dead-end job as a small-town sheriff after being forced to resign from the FBI. He and his wife Amy would give anything to get out and return to the big city. An opportunity presents itself when FBI Chief Harry Shannon (Darren McGavin) calls Mark in on a secret assignment of revenge. Henchmen of a Chicago mob boss named Luigi Patrovita (Sam Wanamaker) have murdered Shannon's son, an FBI agent protecting an informant with information on Patrovita. Knowing that someone in law enforcement is selling information to Patrovita, Shannon wants Mark to infiltrate and destroy the Patrovita organisation from within; in return Shannon will get Mark reinstated in the FBI.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Mark accepts the offer and takes on the identity of an out-of-town criminal, quickly getting Patrovita's attention by causing trouble for his enemy, Jewish mob boss Martin Lamanski. Unfortunately this also earns Mark the enmity of Patrovita enforcer Max Keller (Robert Davi), who starts to dig into the background of his new rival...Not to be confused with the 1948 Film Noir directed by Anthony Mann and starring Dennis O'Keefe. | |

Papa Wolf: Shannon pulls one by proxy by asking Mark to kill all members of the Mafia organization that killed his son. Mark also showcases that he's got chops in this field when we hear that the reason he was kicked out of the FBI was because he applied Police Brutality to a man that killed a kid. | |

They set off a small bomb in a police station, so the police will take a threat seriously and evacuate the building. Then the mob goes in dressed as the bomb squad. | |

Gun Porn: During the Lock-and-Load Montage, we get a good look at the guns Kaminsky loads up with for Storming the Castle. In particular, the HK94 carbine with extended barrel and distinctive vertical foregrip gets much attention, and it's this particular gun is probably what the film is best remembered for these days. | |

The man claims to be on his way to a fancy dress party and merely stopping the motorist to ask for directions. Mark charges him with extortion, resisting arrest, reckless driving, impersonating a police officer, and lying to the sheriff. | |

It's Personal: For Shannon, the death of his son because he was in the way of the Patrovita mob taking out a witness is what makes him decide they are all better off dead. For Kaminski, it's the moment Patrovita sends him off with Keller to kill a nosy cop... who happens to be Shannon. That was the biggest, and last, mistake they ever do. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Subverted in the final gunfight. Both sides had to reload frequently after a few shots. Even Mark, when out of ammo, has to grab the gun/magazine of a mobster he recently killed to continue the fight. This proves a problem to Baxter near the end when he finds all the guns empty. Played straight earlier in the film during the hit on Lamanski, Mark fires over a dozen times from his revolver without reloading. | |

Cool Guns | |
| Raw Deal / int_bb040b01 | comment |
Cool Guns: Mark's H&K 94 (an MP5 submachine gun with extended barrel), International Ordnance MP-2 machine pistol (kind of a grip-fed STEN SMG) and Mossberg 500AT shotgun (with riot barrel that has a really big muzzle). Not a bad collection for Storming the Castle. | |

Destroy the Security Camera: Before the final shootout, Mark uses his shotgun to blast both surveillance cameras outside Petrovita's penthouse, all which were seen on video footage. This is so they won't see him enter through the air vent instead of the elevator. | |

Dull Surprise | |
| Raw Deal / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: Arnold has quite a lot of dialogue compared to his early hits, and even by his own standards doesn't handle it very well. It's probably the only one of his (non-obscure) roles where he really seems like someone speaking a language he doesn't fully understand. His English actually sounded much better in Commando, released a year earlier, because he and screenwriter Steven de Souza went through the entire script and reworked the dialogue where necessary to suit his accent. | |

Car Fu: The mooks at the gravel pit try to crush Arnie's car between two huge earthmoving vehicles. For the hit on Martin Lamanski, Keller tells Mark to shoot the driver so they can run their much larger vehicle off the road. Unfortunately the car is bulletproof. | |

She takes off the dress he bought her and throws it at him, then storms out of the restaurant in her fur coat and lingerie, running into Max Keller (who'd set her up with Mark as a Honey Trap) on the way. She then grabs a drink off the nearest table and tosses it in Keller's face. | |
