    • Trivia
      The film opened just 9 days after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The plot features a gang of militant white supremacists who intend to detonate a bomb in a public place. The film took in $300 on its opening night in Oklahoma. The distributors were forced to release a statement disassociating the film from the real-life incident.
    • Goofs
      The C4 in the trunk of the car blew up when shot. In reality, shooting the C4 would have had no effect.

      Policeman: It didn't come through.

      Jake Wilder: What do you mean it didn't come through?

      Policeman: I don't know, Jake, they said something about probable cause.

      Jake Wilder: Well, I'm going in anyway.
