Two Newsfield magazines name Special FX as a maker of the game. Crash's review header of November 1989 credits the Spectrum version to "Ocean/Special FX". Zzap!64's Commodore 64 review of the same month says Special FX should be finishing the Amiga game soon, and a Zzap!64 news item of March 1990, on Ocean's licence of Data East's coin-op Midnight Resistance, says Special FX had started on the Commodore 64 and Amiga conversions and calls The Untouchables and Red Heat previous Special FX titles, without naming a version. Sinclair User's Fax Box of November 1989 gives the Spectrum version's author as "In House".	`p. 47 (image 47), The Untouchables, review header`	Magazine
Crash reviewed the Spectrum version in November 1989 at £9.99 on cassette and £14.99 on disk and made it a Crash Smash with 94% overall (presentation 90%, graphics 83%, sound 91%, playability 91%, addictivity 88%), summing it up as "a winning, large, action-packed shoot-out". Nick, who gave it 92%, called it "graphically and sonically great" and noted its six sections; Mark gave it 95%. The issue's competition page offered five videos of the film and twenty copies of the game.	`p. 39, competitionp. 47 (image 47), Nick's commentp. 47 (image 47), Nick's commentp. 47 (image 47), Nick's commentp. 47 (image 47), review headerp. 47 (image 47), Mark's commentp. 47 (image 47), ratings box`	Magazine
