Trivia[]
- Originally filmed in 1989 but wasn't released until 1991 Columbia Pictures was originally set to release this film on May 10, 1991 but ultimately delayed its release that ultimately received a small, and brief, run five months later.
- Pamela Anderson plays un-credited role as a cheerleader in her first film part
- A computer game was released in 1991 to coincide with the film's theatrical release. The game was an action/adventure hybrid where you could play as both Boomer Hayes and Laura Sage (strangely, Ed was left out) to solve puzzles and defeat bad guys in order to stop the looting of the city. However, the game was developed and released by Capstone Software, a company notorious for their poorly created movie tie-ins. The game had some significant bugs and poor gameplay, and, like the film it was based on, faded into obscurity.
- Originally intended to be released after the surprise success of Die Hard in 1988 by Nelson Entertainment as a potential franchise but ended up being released as the various Die Hard imitation phase films which were reaching their peak and eventually ended with such movies like Under Siege and Sudden Death that were released during this period.
