Did you know

• Bruce Beresford wrote extensively about this film in his recent memoir, "Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants To Do This. ... True Stories From A Life In The Screen Trade." The production was apparently deeply troubled, and Beresford was well aware that the script didn't make sense. The producers closed the shoot down after fifty days, and Beresford was forced to use his own money to complete the film.

• Distributed as a straight-to-DVD release in the U.S. and most other markets.

• According to Bruce Beresford in a book he wrote, Steven Seagal asked for a supporting role, but was declined.
