The script (already rewritten by David Koepp) was previously taking place in L.A., then it was a smaller Texas town/city before they decided to shoot in Houston, and indeed I'd have to look at it again but I don't remember the Christmas season in the March 1988 draft that I own.
and that his wife added the epic final line of "...go in pieces"!
Baxley keeps telling that she suggested it during production and yet the line was already written in the aforementioned earlier draft dated one year before filming took place so I wonder if his memory isn't playing him tricks...

The way it's added might be confusing but I just looked up and that part is about Baxley and Lundgren's previously aborted project called MAN TO MAN, which he mentioned in a 10-12 year-old podcast named "The Video Store Shelf".

Okay, so I looked at my draft, and it's written like this:
TALEC
"I COME IN PEACE!"
CAINE
"You mean pieces. Asshole."
So Baxley's wife perhaps suggested the "
And you go in pieces, asshole" revision?
