The film's poster features ninjas on it along with Kurt Thomas. There are no ninjas featured or referenced in this film. The poster was possibly designed to attract the action/martial arts crowd as this was a very popular genre during this time period. Tadashi Yamashita who appears in this film as one of Kurt Thomas' instructors actually starred as The Black Star Ninja, the villain in American Ninja (1985), which was released after the release of this film in June 1985.

The Star Wars satellite program referenced in the film was actually true. This was a part of the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia in hopes that both countries would find territories outside their respective countries in order to plant satellite stations so each country would be alerted in case of a nuclear attack on either side.

Colonel Cabot: [to Zamir] The Khan explained the game! Now back off!
