The car chase scene between Sully and Matrix starts on Ventura Blvd and moves into the hills on Benedict Canyon.ĭiamond Toymakers released a line of action figures in 1986 in an attempt to cash in on the success of G.I. The house that Matrix storms at the film's climax was actually the former main residence of the Harold Lloyd Estate in the Benedict Canyon district of Beverly Hills. The barracks that are "attacked" are actually beach properties belonging to the Hearst Castle Estate. San Nicolas Island off the coast of Santa Barbara, to which Matrix flies to rescue his daughter, was filmed on the Pacific coast at San Simeon. The film was shot on location in California. Principal photography commenced on Apand lasted for 45 days. Kirby arrives with a military detachment and asks Matrix to rejoin the Special Forces Unit, but Matrix declines and departs the island aboard the seaplane with Jenny and Cindy. Matrix tracks them and faces Bennett in a fierce struggle until Matrix fatally impales Bennett with a steam pipe, killing him. Jenny escapes her confinement to the villa's basement, but is captured by Bennett. Matrix instructs Cindy to contact General Kirby and then proceeds to Arius' villa, killing the leader as well as his men on the way. Cindy helps him escape with a rocket launcher and, after commandeering a seaplane from a nearby marina controlled by Arius, Matrix and Cindy land the plane off the coast of Arius' island hideout. Matrix breaks into a surplus store to equip himself with military weaponry, but the police arrive and Matrix is arrested. He kills Cooke after a lengthy fight and learns where Jenny is being held after searching Cooke's car. Taking a motel key from Sully's jacket, Matrix tracks down and confronts Cooke, a former Green Beret in Arius' employ. After a lengthy car chase, Matrix catches up with Sully and drops him off a cliff to his death. Cindy first assumes that Matrix is a maniac, but after she sees Sully pull a gun on Matrix in the ensuing fight, she has a change of heart and henceforth assists him in his endeavor. He enlists the aid of an off-duty flight attendant, Cindy, and instructs her to follow Sully to a shopping mall. With approximately 11 hours, he sets out after another of Arius' men, Sully. With Jenny's life on the line, Matrix reluctantly accepts the demand.Īfter boarding a plane to Val Verde, Matrix manages to kill his guard, Henriques, and jumps from the plane just as it is taking off. Matrix previously led a United States-backed revolution that deposed Arius, who has chosen Matrix because the new US-puppet president trusts him implicitly. He is taken before their leader, Arius, a South American former dictator who needs Matrix to carry out a political assassination in his home country of Val Verde, where Arius wishes to lead a military coup. While trying to intercept them, Matrix is also overpowered and abducted by the mercenaries. The mercenaries, among them Bennett, an Australian ex-member of Matrix's team fired for unknown reasons, attack Matrix's secluded mountain home and kidnap Matrix's young daughter Jenny.
