SYNOPSIS

Nick Slaughter was a former Miami-based DEA agent with an attitude and a ponytail who opted for what he thought would be a safer, more laidback life style: a private eye on the sunny Caribbean island of Key Mariah.

Life on the beach meant sexy gals in bikinis and guys with open shirts. He spent most of his time hanging out with his friend Ian, a former Australian rock star who gave it all up to run a beachfront bar and dive shop, instead of doing his job - looking for clients. Trying to keep Nick's mind on business was Sylvie, his super-efficient, sexy partner, a computer whiz who had given up one career as a travel agent for another one working for Nick. When Ian went back to rock-n-roll, Nick's friend, former tennis pro, Spider Garvin, took over the bar.

Other cast members included: Lt. Carillo, head of the local police; Ollie, a Philadelphia cop temporarily working as Carillo's assistant and Rollie, the nerdy medical examiner.

Sweating Bullets was filmed on location in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Production was moved to Tel Aviv and Ellat in Israel in the fall of 1991 and then to Mauritius and Pretoria, South Africa a year later.
