Trivia
Originally filmed as "The Exchange" but during post-production, Sony felt that people wouldn't get the subtle title. Sony wanted something that sounded more like an action film. A new title "Bloodstone" was selected. Sony even used this title to promote the film in several industry publications, but they ultimately felt that the new title lacked the urgency and excitement of a Jean-Claude Van Damme film. Ultimately "Maximum Risk" was selected.

Goofs
When Alain is fighting with Red Face in the fire in the beginning, as he is striking his face, you can see Red Face's lips are bloodied. However just before his last strike, there is no blood on Red Face's lips.

Quotes
Alain Moreau: This is not your lucky day. Tell your boss to leave me the fuck alone.

Alternate versions
18-rated UK video version cut by 9 seconds for violence.

Van Damme's maximum best besides Double Team

This Movie is surely Van Damme's MAXIMUM best besides Double Team. It has a good story, cool music, and some pretty interesting and exciting action sequences. I am a fan of Van Damme's acting and martial arts skills but I haven't liked many of his movies. Not because of Van Damme himself, but because of cheap plots and bad action sequences. But this Van Damme movie hits the bullseye and it's worth watching.

Van Damme stars as a policeman in France who finds out that he had a twin brother that he never knew who had been murdered. Wanting to dive more into the mystery of his brother's death he travels to New York and takes his brothers place in hope of some answers. But he gets a lot more than he hoped for because thugs are trying to kill him left and right, so he delivers extreme action, and gives them something to think about(that is if there not all dead yet!). So see this movie if you haven't yet or see it again if you have. If you like Van Damme I'd also recommend Double Team.
