Synopsis
Thieves run over a child while escaping after a robbery. A deadly hitman who likes to taunt his targets is hired to track them down. Stone moves to England, but the assassin follows and the action culminates in a shoot out at an amusement park. Loosely based on Donald Westlake’s cult crime novel.

The steps of the Revolution serve as a handy vantage point for the shooter.
A tense exchange of gunfire take place amongst the horses of the Derby Racer.
Here a character is seen on the steps at the central Monorail station. The steps were in use until 2002, when the configuration was changed so that guests entered and exited the train from the same side. The steps were repurposed to provide access to Spin Doctor from the Tom Sawyer Bridge.
Despite its brief tenure at the park, the Rock O Plane has a starring role in a number of sequences in the film including some on-ride footage. The roof of the Golden Gallopers before they were enclosed in a building can be seen in the foreground.
The shoot out continues throughout the Gold Mine.
.... before relocating to the River Caves where the characters enter the trough and ride in a boat.
A number of unusual angles of these familiar rides are seen.
The action then moves to Alice in Wonderland where some coaster cars (presumably from the Grand National) are being stored in front of the ride.
Some familiar props can be seen in this sequence.
Some familiar props can be seen in this sequence.
When the credits roll the Rock O Plane is seen turning, looking out towards the sea with the Steeplechase station and Big Dipper 'Star Hill' in shot.

Although the amusement park scenes are fairly seamless in their construction, they are actually a mix of shots from the Pleasure Beach, Pleasureland Southport and studio sets.

Much earlier in the film, there are sights from Pleasureland Southport in 1983.

When the the characters first arrive in England, Pleasureland serves as the amusement park for the daytime filming location.
The Skid that would later become the park's Black Hole ride is seen in the bottom right. Looking towards the front of the park, the Log Flume has not yet arrived from Magic Harbor.
Mel Smith's character is seen maintaining the Cyclone, which still features its original colour scheme before the park's Moroccan theme would see it adopt a tan colour later in its existence.
