Filmed back to back with Missing in Action (1984), this film was supposed to be released first. However when the producers realized the second film was the better of the two, they released it first and named this film a prequel. This explains why screenwriter Steve Bing receives a credit for "characters" in what became the first Missing in Action.

Features some of the same music cues as Mad Max. Both films were scored by Brian May.

Mazilli's pet rooster was named "Angelo".

Throughout the movie, Ho is referred to as "Captain Ho", however in the closing credits, his name is "Colonel Ho".

Throughout the movie, one of Braddock's men is wearing a machine gun ammo belt over his shoulders like a bandoleer. The rounds in that belt are not even dummy cartridges, but clearly blank movie rounds.

When Colonel Yin is going to have Opelca executed, he reads the charges and refers to him as "Sergeant Opelca". Opelca was a Corporal.

Colonel Braddock: You really didn't think I'd leave... without making sure you were dead?
