Trivia

The explosions in this film were provided not by special effects technicians but by the Dutch Marines. In his DVD commentary on the film, director Paul Verhoeven states that the explosive charges were held in place with metal. When one of the charges was set off, it blew the metal to bits. One of the flying fragments nearly killed star Rutger Hauer. See more »
