| Trivia | Michael Dudikoff had to be rushed to a hospital to have needles removed from one of his eyes. See more » |
| Goofs | The troops guarding Manteuffel's lab at the beginning of the film are improperly uniformed. They wear the Nazi party swastika armbands although they are clearly wearing Wehrmacht army uniforms. The armband was only worn by SS troops and Nazi officials and, by this point in the war, only with full dress uniforms and not in the field. See more » |
