Interesting facts

No Exit is a 1995 Canadian action film directed by Damian Lee, starring Jeff Wincott, Sven-Ole Thorsen, Richard Fitzpatrick, Joseph Di Mambro and Guylaine St-Onge. Wincott stars as an anti-violence academic who ends up killing a man responsible for the loss of his unborn child and is abducted by a millionaire to star in his illegal, fight-to-the-death TV program. In the United States, the film was re-titled Fatal Combat.

Production

The film was the penultimate in a series of four Wincott vehicles produced and directed by Damian Lee, shortly after The Donor and Law of the Jungle, and before When the Bullet Hits the Bone. An earlier film, The Killing Machine, also starred Wincott but was directed by Lee's frequent collaborator David Mitchell. No Exit was filmed during parts of February and March 1995 in the region of Toronto, Ontario.

The film, which the Chicago Tribune said "displays some thematic links to the Arnold Schwarzenegger picture The Running Man", features Sven-Ole Thorsen, who had previously appeared in that work, as well as played the main antagonist in Lee's 1990 film Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe. Like Jeff Wincott, Toronto-based sidekick actor Joseph Di Mambro possessed real-life Taekwondo experience.
