Anecdotes

Pure Danger is a 1996 action film starring and directed by C. Thomas Howell. It co-stars Teri Ann Linn, Michael Russo, Marcus Chong and Leon. The story concerns an ex-con cook (Howell) and a waitress (Linn) who happen upon stolen diamonds, and find themselves on the run from the two gangs looking to get them back, respectively led by a mafioso (Russo) and his African-American rival (Leon).

Production

Pure Danger was C. Thomas Howell's second film as a director after 1995's Hourglass. The transition remained difficult, as people often dismissed it as an actor's whim, and his private lifestyle did not give him much political sway in Hollywood. The IMDb, based on unspecified sources, has filming taking place during parts of September and October 1995.

In a 2019 book detailing his grievances against the movie business, actor Marcus Chong blames Howell and PM for destroying his relationship with the William Morris talent agency during the making of this film. According to Chong, he took the part of "Freethrow" as a favor to his sister Rae Dawn Chong, who was Howell's ex-wife. He was later called to perform ADR, but could not attend on the desired date due to his commitment to a stage play.
