What's left behind the scenes
- The film's script was originally written for Nicolas Cage and Mickey Rourke.
- Dolph Lundgren's name appears second in the credits, and on the film's promotional posters he is depicted side-by-side with Jean-Claude Van Damme (playing Marco and Wheeler respectively), but his character is allocated less than 13 minutes of screen time.
- Around the 22nd minute of the film, the shots of the port from above begin to move in the opposite direction – the cars are clearly driving in reverse.
