Trivia and Facts

  • The film ran into production delays leading to a lot of idle time for sound engineers. To stay productive, they accepted director William Lustig’s offer to mix his concurrent project “Maniac”. This explains why a low-budget film like this had a full Dolby Stereo sound-mix, usually reserved for studio films at that time.
  • The movie makes a reference to “Good Guys Wear Black”, a film from 1978.
