Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jacobus was a stunt performer who couldn't get hired, so he shot this in Oakland with friends to prove he could direct action better than most Hollywood veterans.
This became a secret handshake in 2000s martial arts film circles, directly influencing the 'gun-fu' revival before John Wick made it mainstream.
