Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Van Damme's attempt at 'serious acting' between Universal Soldier and Hard Target—he reportedly took horseback riding lessons for months.
The film flopped but became cable TV staple, arguably inventing the 'Van Damme as sensitive protector' subgenre that peaked with 1996's The Quest.
