What's left behind the scenes
- The final collaboration between Cannon Pictures and Aaron (who served as director) and Chuck (who starred in the lead role) Norris. This was the last film produced by the Cannon Group before the studio was sold to MGM.
- Initially, executive producer Yoram Globus wanted Michael Wadley to direct the film. However, Wadley asked the studio to put the project on hold until he could rewrite the script. Wadley insisted that a rewrite was necessary, but Globus refused to delay filming and replaced Wadley with Aaron Norris, the brother of lead actor Chuck Norris.
