It was an atypical film for Norris, whose previous ones had been known more for his martial arts skills. A crime drama, it was filmed on location in Chicago with a few subplots. It features Norris as Sgt. Eddie Cusack, a streetwise plainclothes officer who takes down a crime czar responsible for officers being wounded in a botched drug raid. In the film's climax, Norris teams up with a crime-fighting robot named "Prowler."
Dennis Farina was an actual Chicago police officer during the making of this film, moonlighting before becoming a full-time actor when cast in the leading role of Michael Mann's 1986 television series Crime Story.
Davis said the film "made a lot of money and I got pegged as an action director."[5]
