Trivia

The national Australian government agency, the Department of Civil Aviation, banned a stunt where one of the film's villains falls to his death from a helicopter, landing on a number of stobey-pole electric cable wires whereupon he is vividly electrocuted. However, this scene still appears in the film. See more »
