Last week, the Presidential Inaugural Committee began hawking official souvenirs on the QVC-TV shopping network. But back in September, Brian Harlin, owner of a Washington memorabilia shop, had started selling his Inaugural trinkets to the public. The committee fired off a "cease-and-desist" letter. Harlin scooped it by applying for a trademark for the Inaugural seal seven weeks before the Clintonites did. Approval is pending for both sides. The U.S. Patent and Trademark office says that although the trademark has not been maintained, use determines rights. Hence, lack of a trademark registration does not preclude protection. So which...
Like the heroine, the movie has two personalities that smartly coexist. Writer Shane Black mines his thriller premise while musing on issues of identity and redemption; he also shaped the itchy camaraderie of Davis and Jackson. Atoning for the flop Cutthroat Island, director Renny Harlin pumps up the genre adrenaline and puts his wife-star through her labors (including a Tarzan stunt echoing one of Jackie Chan's in Police Story).

...director helped. Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Nightmare on Elm Street IV) took Stallone on location months before shooting began to get him used to the heights. He also reassured Stallone by first doing some stunts himself. That included the daring opening sequence: a failed rescue attempt that has Stallone hanging upside down on a cable between two peaks, 13,000 ft. in the air. "I was shamed into doing it," Sly admits. "And that's a pretty hairy stunt...
