• In a 2012 interview, Michael Biehn stated that working on this film was "probably the worst experience of my life". He stated that "we wanted to make a really good movie, and it really turned out to be kind of a mish-mash and not a very good movie at all. The script could've been shaped to be much better, and you just hate to see all that talent and passion go to waste."

• Originally, the men were going to play touch football, but Bill Paxton felt the scene was too similar to the volleyball scene in Top Gun (1986). So he suggested that they play golf instead. Most of the golf sequence was directed by Paxton with a second unit crew.

• The actors spent two weeks in an intensive SEAL-style "boot camp." In the end, it was actors versus SEALs in a final "war game" showdown. The SEALs are reported to have graciously said that the actors made a good showing for themselves.
