When Chuck Norris was offered the lead role of the film, he was in the process of establishing a new kick-boxing league in Los Angeles with Benny Urquidez. Norris cites his decision to pursue the movie over the league as a defining point in his transition from martial arts competition to acting.

Goofs
When Booker is jogging and his friend in the brown car pulls up, a Toyota Celica is shown passing the brown car. When the camera angle changes to the driver of the brown car, the Celica never appears outside his window as it should have. In the next scene, the same Toyota Celica is shown passing his friend's car as he pulls over.

When Booker (an obvious stunt double in a blond wig) jumps through the window of the assassin's car in the airport parking lot the window shatters into many pieces and allows his foot to pass through to the driver. In reality the car, a 70s model Toyota Celica, would have had a tempered shatterproof windshield of safety glass that could never break the way the glass in this scene does no matter how expertly kicked. In the very next shot (of the bloody assassin's body behind the wheel) the glass now appears to be of the correct type; cracked but not shattered.This is obviously not Chuck Norris but an Asian stunt double with a really bad blonde wig.

When the limo comes veering around the corner and swings back into the curb, the driver's side front wheel gets torn off. In the next scene, with the limo launching into the bay, the wheel appears intact with the car.

Margaret: You're the professor, professor.

Booker: Everything went wrong by the numbers. And that takes planning.

Booker: And so as history slowly places it into some kind of perspective, a few things about the Vietnam War have become clear. It was a war that never should have begun, and a country we never should have entered. And as thousands of victims died without really understanding why. Mainly because the reasons for the war were beyond any rules of logic. On Wednesday we'll sing patriotic songs and pretend I said none of the above.
