Trivia
The color, make and model of the sports car seen in the film that the Soldier drives around West Berlin was a silver Porsche 930 Turbo. The 930 refers to a "type number" for the pre-964 generation 911 Turbo, which was produced during the years 1975 to 1989, and is usually pronounced as "nine thirty". At the time of this film, the car was valued at $80,000 [Australian]. A silver Porsche 930 Turbo also appeared in another 1982 movie, the Australian film Freedom (1982).
