        • Trivia
          While looking for locations in the Philippines, Ruggero asked his guides to take him to the same region where Francis Ford Coppola filmed Apocalypse Now (1979). Seeing that the place had been cleared for that filming, Deodato was forced to look for an area with virgin forest. In Deodato Holocaust (2019), the filmmaker stated: "Coppola had destroyed that jungle!".
        • Goofs
          All of the vehicle license plates read, "Florida - 1983", which is the year the film was made, not the year in which it is set (1994).

          Colonel's Goon #1: How's it going, Washington?

          Mohammed: I don't know. My name's Mohammed.

        • Alternate versions
          The German version (released under the title "Atlantis Inferno") is missing the entire opening credits sequence, and starts directly at the first scene with the kidnapping. Before the movie is a blue screen with the title, and credits for Ruggerro Deodato, Christopher Connelly (I), Tony King, Ivan Rassimov and Mike Miller. No one else from the opening credits sequence is credited anywhere in the movie. The end credits are also taken straight from the original Italian version, and are still in Italian. Also, several cuts are made to the more gory sequences, including the deaths of Frank, Liza and Barbara, and the decapitation of the motorcycle raiders. All of the other death scenes remain intact. There are also many dialog changes, with extra lines added (in German) in numerous scenes. The echoing screams of the raiders when they are killed have also entirely been replaced with normal, non-echoing cries from German voice-over artists. Additionally, during the platform sequences, an echo has been added to lines of dialog spoken by characters into microphones, which is not present in any other version worldwide.

        What can you say? Absolute Classic 80's Actioner...

        This film is in a league of it's own: I won't bother to re-state what every other person has already posted regarding the plot. Needless to say it makes no sense what-so-ever in the big scheme of things, but there is plenty of violence and preposterous characters such as the "Crystal Skull" liven things up no end. The best line in the whole film has to be "We can't move; we're immobilised" (by an invisible force field), so how come he can still move his jaw to speak? As I say ultimately in a league of it's own and one of the best examples of how practically any script was considered during the 80's as a potential blockbuster!
