Short description
Veteran cop Nick Pulovski is used to playing musical partners; many of the partners he's had in the past have died on the job, and often as a result of Nick's risky tactics. But the rookie who's been assigned to help Nick bust a carjacking ring is almost as hotheaded as he is … and when Nick gets kidnapped, his newbie partner is his only hope.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, the film was to be set in London, England, but plans changed over time. One of the script changes was replacing the phrase “Did you hear what this pathetic faggot just said about my car?” with “Did you hear what this fucking ‘faggot’ said about my car?”
  • When Sarah sees the real Lieutenant Garcia on television, Loco changes the channel, and we see a giant tarantula crawling across the desert. This is a shot from the film *Tarantula* (1955). In this film, Clint Eastwood plays a minor role as a fighter pilot who attacks the spider. The shot used in *The Rookie* (1990) is right before the attack.
  • During the fight scene between Sarah and Loco, two members of the film crew can be seen standing near the entrance door.
