Trivia

The concept for the film originated with the producer had an agreement with Jean-Claude Van Damme to play himself in a movie. In the original screenplay Van Damme was portrayed more as a clown. Mabrouk El Mechri was brought on to rewrite, and was subsequently asked to direct. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where the two guys talk about movies in the Video-store the one claims that Stallone fought against Arabs in "Rambo 3". But actually in "Rambo 3" John Rambo was fighting FOR Arabs in Afghanistan and against the "bad" Russian troops. See more »

Quotes

Policier: Central to Unit 27. Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing a post office. I need back-up.
