Stuart Whitman's last movie.



A TV movie for the CBS network.



According to Dylan Neal, the final explosion scene was intense to shoot, as the heat on the set was almost unbearable. Neal said: "This was one of those 'one take' kinda shots and all I was told was, 'Do not stop walking, do not turn around no matter how loud or hot it gets behind you.'"



Jake Pavelka plays the younger version of Chuck Norris' character in this film. He did the same in Team Cherokee: Part 1 (1999).



Dylan Neal's bare-chested electro-shock torture scene echoes Chuck Norris's bare-chested electro-shock torture scene in 1988's "Braddock: Missing in Action III" ...which, in turn, echoes Mel Gibson's bare-chested electro-shock torture scene in 1987's "Lethal Weapon".

Factual errors

Early in the movie when Chuck Norris is inside the F117, he appears to be sitting where the engines should be. The only way the area where he is shown riding could exist would be if the aircraft had no engines.

When Chuck Norris drops out of the F117's bomb bay, his body appears to be about the size of one of the side windows of the canopy, which means either he is about 3 feet tall, or the stealth fighter is far bigger than its actual size.

When Chuck Norris jumps from the building with the President's wife, he flies over the ocean and drops her. After that he is seen flying away at a much higher altitude. He has no means of propulsion, just a parachute.

During the flashback scene where General Tran murders Joshua's wife he shoots her in the right shoulder which is not a fatal wound.



Revealing mistakes

When tracking the bad guys' jeep by satellite, the 'satellite image' is from a low oblique angle, filmed from an a low flying aircraft.



Miscellaneous

There is a very long scene of watching Joshua in free fall from the F117. This is to pad the movie's run time.
