Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Unlawful Entry (1992)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • The scene in which Ray Liotta's police officer violently assaults an African American suspect was scripted before the real Rodney King beating of March 3, 1991, and filmed before that incident happened, so director Jonathan Kaplan tried to ignore the parallel, saying the movie was not really about that.
