This movie needs work

"The Swap" doesn't look like a sequel to me. I've seen sequels with archives of the original film. This revenge film shows mostly flashbacks of the original made 10 years ago. The brother of Sam(Robert DeNiro) gets out prison and would go after the people responsible for his death. Sam has moved to California to do film there. Only this time, he was doing pornographic stuff. One night, Sam was working, and someone has jumped him from behind. The brother learned about his murder and would go place to place and speak with the people he knew. This revenge film was a little bit weak. Too cliche in every way. Revenge is a dish served cold. This movie is cold. Only the Ford cars were the only things that I liked in it. The rest of the movie needs a lot of work. 2 out of 5 stars

Trivia
All the scenes with Robert De Niro are re-used shots and out-takes from Leondopoulos' first feature film, Sam's Song, used without De Niro's knowledge or permission. Reportedly De Niro was so angered by the release of The Swap that he wanted to take legal action against the film's production company, Cannon.

Quotes
Vito Nicoletti: I pray to God, there is a God.

Alternate versions
The original Vestron Video VHS, as well as some later public domain VHS/DVD releases, feature an edited-for-TV print that removes the sex and nudity.
