Did you know

• The building at the climax of the movie is the same one used in the climax of True Lies (1994) and many of the shots are similar to this later film.

• Despite a Region 2 DVD release by Carlton International Media UK in 2002, the film was never released on a Region 1 DVD. It only had a VHS and Laserdisc release by Live Home Video in the United States. However, it will play on a computer with a DVD ROM drive. Computers can play any video format and region encoding.

• For a promotional item, there was a pair of boxer shorts, white with Short Time in red written all over them. The scene where Detective Simpson is at the doctors office where he's wearing just boxer shorts and his dress shirt is why they gave away the boxers as promotion item.
