  • Creator Backlash: Albert Pyun hated the film, and even publicly apologized for it several times. According to him, Nu Image suddenly cut off his funds half way through shooting, then took it from him and spliced it with archive footage from several of their other films to get the final product. Pyun has since made an unofficial release of his drastically different director's cut. His DVD commentary was edited to remove all of his bashing of Nu Image and how badly the film was treated.
  • Distanced from Current Events: The film was released only two months after the September 11th terror attacks, which likely explains why the distributors gave it a limited run in theaters.
  • Playing Against Type:
    • Steven Seagal is not only merely the second main character; he doesn't throw a single punch or shoot a single gun until around the last 15 minutes of the film.
    • This one of the few times that Peter Greene doesn't play a bad guy.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The story originally took place in Chicago.
    • In the original script, Frank Glass was revealed to be just a figment of Ray Nettles' imagination, that he created to help himself cope with his fear of bombs.
