 Sara Costas range firing scenes were filmed on the Alhambra Police  Departments shooting range in South El Monte, CA. All scenes shot  involved real, live fire, using a Smith and Wesson, Model 19, .357  Magnum revolver. The director wanted to show her firing an  impressive score, so it was decided that the instructor, (Patrick  Alexander) would be off camera shooting the target which would then  be inserted as if it was fired by Sara. In fact she was doing very  well in her firearms self defense training, and the target that was  shown in the final cut was actually shot by Sara Costa.
