George Elliot is exceptionally believable in his role as the night club owner Ronald Gillette (Blade). Going broke, he does the best he can in a world of bent cops, stand over men and devious characters. With the help of his mate Wack and the support of his reluctant girlfriend Geraldine, he continues to dig the hole deeper in his fight to survive.

Holly Brisley is sensational as Geraldine, the ditsy girlfriend of Blade who in pursuit of love and a simple life, finds herself continually dragged deeper and deeper into the ever spiraling kaleidoscope of misadventures that is Blades life.

Rhys Muldoon gives a fantastic performance as David Kowakski (Wack). Prepared to go to extraordinary lengths in the quest for survival. His blind faith in Blade endlessly feeds his fearless enthusiasm to plunge into the unknown, eventually landing him in even more trouble than his love life.

Tahne Stroet is brilliant in her portrayal of the wild red headed Tania, Wack’s girlfriend. Past relationships with cheating lovers have left her a paranoid, psychotic, screaming, epitome of jealous rage. Convinced that men are, “all the same,” she manages to batter, bully and manipulate Wack into submission.

Tony Barry makes an excellent cop, (the best money can buy,) in his role as the senior detective sergeant intent on extorting every dollar he can from the night club owners. Tony displays a great sense of realism when he resorts to the stand over tactics and violence often heard about in the early eighties.

Kelly Butler is almost too convincing in her role as Jackie. This can only be attributed to her brilliance as an actor as she envelops herself in her character, the transvestite dance coordinator, organizer and housemother to the maverick Bar strippers.

Bruce Venables spent endless irritable hours every morning in the make up chair having his teeth marred and a prosthetic eye fitted. All necessary to give him the realistic appearance of Wally Eye, the larger than life, mean spirited moneylender, fence and pimp, prepared to stand over, cheat and lie to anyone and everyone he comes into contact with. Bruce brings Wally to life as no other could.

Vincent Stone brings a whole new dimension to the complex character of Dago as he skulks through the film portraying a menacing figure of would be deceit. Disarmed by Blade in his fantasy role as an ex member of the Russian KGB, he forms an intriguing figure intent on revenge right to the end when his true motivation is finally revealed

Rudi Baker as the endlessly stoned Guru of marijuana cultivators, is hilarious as he trips his way through the new found role of importance that is bestowed his character Billy Bong

Sam O'Dell cleverly brings a perception of innocence to an otherwise cunning street kid, Danny, Wacks brother and Billy Bongs partner in cultivational exploits.
