Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Sega Game Gear appears as a literal plot device — Johnny sees visions through it. This is perhaps cinema's most brazen console integration until The Wizard.
Ernie Reyes Jr. was already a martial arts veteran at 20, having starred in Red Sonia and TMNT. His father Ernie Sr. choreographed the fights, making this a genuine family business disguised as camp.
