Trivia
John Cusack took over 600 hours of skiing lessons in preparation for this movie. The 600 hours is equivalent to fifteen 40 hour weeks.

Goofs
When James Spader lifts the case of champagne bottles at the end of the film, it is obvious that the case has little to no weight in it, meaning the prop bottles are empty.

Quotes
Tim Gerrity: My old man had a saying, that friendship is like the morning dew: It settles on some roses, and it settles on some dog shit.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

True Colors is certainly not a classic, but it is worth a look, Having seen it years ago I have always considered it one of those mini discoveries. A little film that I enjoyed that most people were not aware of. Viewing it now I still enjoyed the relationship between Cusak and Spader. We all know that politicians are scum and that the government is always at work for US, so NOTHING about this film or the morals of the people in it should surprise. What is a bit amusing is the fact that the film makers wish us to believe that Spader and the Justice Department have integrity. This is quite laughable.

My advice is to enjoy the concept and the journey these people take to achieve power.
