Ramon Cota has a Cessna sitting on the arch over the entrance to his compound. This is a reference to Pablo Escobar, a similar flamboyant real-life Columbian drug dealer who also had such an entrance to his compound.
Cota's mansion seen in the film is the real-life Palace In The Sky located in Tagaytay City outside Manila, Philippines. The palace was erected in 1979 by former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos - known as the People's Park In The Sky.
Michael Dudikoff and Steve James were attached to the project when it was known as Spitfire: Delta Force II. After they passed on it, Chuck Norris was given the script which he disliked and was changed into the final product.
