Curiosità

Last Man Standing is a 1995 American action film written, produced and directed by Joseph Merhi, starring Jeff Wincott, Jillian McWhirter, Jonathan Fuller and Jonathan Banks. Wincott and McWhirter star as a cop and his banker wife, caught in a crossfire between a gang of robbers who clean Los Angeles' vaults and the husband's corrupt colleagues, who are in league with the bandits.

Production

Last Man Standing was shot during parts of August and September 1994. It was touted as an example of the higher budgeted movies enabled by PM Entertainment's recent move to larger facilities in Sun Valley. Most of its standout scenes took place in Long Beach, California. The initial encounter between Bellmore and "Snake" Underwood, and subsequent high fall, were shot at the Hyatt Regency hotel.

The highway was not among stock locations offered by California's Department of Transportation, which were deemed barren and underwhelming. But after PM's location scouts visited Shoreline Drive, they saw the unique value offered by such a wide road, built against a rich urban backdrop and where explosions could be staged.

Last Man Standing was the first PM project where stunt coordinator duties were assigned to future company regular Spiro Razatos, who also served as second unit co-director. The scene where Bellmore is dragged through the highway by an armored truck is one of Razatos' signature stunts.
