Reviews were generally very negative, and the film performed poorly at the box office despite a large $22 million budget and highly regarded director. Despite this however it gain a cult following mostly from the fans of Peter Benchley and/or Michael Caine and they’ve requested this to be released on DVD.
At the 1st Golden Raspberry Awards the film received nominations for Worst Actor (Michael Caine) and Worst Director (Michael Ritchie).
