Did you know?!Facts and trivia about L.A. Bounty (1989)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Steve James was set to play a male loner opposite Sybil Danning and shot promotional photos with her, but delays filming American Ninja 3 in South Africa kept him out, so the script was rewritten and his part split into the mayor and a police detective.
  • Sybil Danning hosted wraparound segments for old action films that International Video Entertainment repackaged as Adventure Video; the tapes sold so well that she talked the distributor into financing L.A. Bounty, keeping a stake through Adventuress Productions.
