In the original, Norwegian version the female main character (played by Lene Elise Bergum) was topless for at least half of the movie. This was not the case in the Hollywood version.
The movie is based on the Norwegian movie _Hodet Over Vannet (1993)_. Nils Gaup, director of the original, said about it: "Twice Hollywood has remade my films, and both times they have managed to make the worst movie ever." The other movie being Pathfinder (2007).
