* BreakawayPopHit: ''Two''. If that wasn't weird enough, neither is used in the actual movie, not even during credits, but both are included on the soundtrack:
** Budka Suflera provided a lyrical "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOYO4dpHpJA Demony wojny]]", which was ''extensively'' used when promoting the movie itself. After the band members had a fall-out two decades later, their former singer re-recorded the song on his own, creating a three-sided copyright battle, but mostly just [[ScrewedByTheLawyers making it hard to play the original on the radio]].

* AllStarCast: Pretty much all male roles are played by actors who were big shots in the 90s Polish film scene, even if their role was just a cameo.
* BackedByThePentagon: The film received support from the Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration and (now defunct) military units under its command. This allowed to ''significantly'' decrease production costs, as all the gear on screen was just military surplus, borrowed for the production.

Added DiffLines:

* NoBudget: Although you might never figure it out. Despite all the hardware involved and AllStarCast, the film was shot on a miniscule budget of 1 million złotych, which was less than 300 ''thousand'' dollars back in 1998.
* ProductionPosse: Władysław Pasikowski, the director, had previously worked with most of the cast members, many of whom had played in at least three of his films by then. This was another thing that allowed him to keep the budget at the bare minimum.

* AsHerself: Ewa Drzyzga, back then a well-known journalist, playing herself as a news reporter.
* CaliforniaDoubling: It was mostly filmed in the Polish Tatra mountains, which shows at times if you are familiar with them. The base is located next to Ogrodzieniec Castle, one of Poland's most famous and iconic castle ruins.
* FakeNationality: Nicole is played by Aleksandra Nieśpielak, a Polish actress. A few of Skija's men are played by Polish extras.
