Intended to be the first installment of a trilogy, which never came to be.
The squashed "de-anamorphic" effect on the opening title sequence is an homage to years of VHS fullscreen movies that had their widescreen titles similarly squashed. Many projectionists have mistakenly swapped out their lenses in the middle of this sequence. Ironically, the video version of the movie is letterboxed (although the cable broadcast version was not).
Jeffrey Falcon did all of his own stunts free of wires and special effects.
Filmed only on weekends, since Justin McGuire still had to go to school during production.
The 'tiger claw' Soviet soldier towards the end of the film is Jeffrey Falcon's brother Noel.
