Did you know

• Producer Spede Pasanen gave the control to the young production team and he was playing golf in Spain during the primary photography. Later he did regret his lax control as the production costs did considerably rise from the originally planned and even more when the film did not became the expected box office hit.

• The film's scenes and dialogue has many references to Hollywood action movies. For example in the scene where the main characters jump off a bridge, one of them yells "i hate you" before they hit the water as did Don Johnson in the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Tony has an embarrassing girly name, as does Sylvester Stallone in Cobra.

• The first version of the script included for example a scene where Linnanmäki amusement park in Helsinki is blown up and scenes where night clubs in Helsinki are destroyed by shooting. The producer Spede Pasanen liked this script, but wanted to scale down things a bit as the resulting film would last too long.
