Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Charles Kaufman (Troma's Mother's Day) co-directed but disowned it; E.G. Bakker was primarily a Dutch TV director with zero other features.
Shot during Indonesia's New Order regime, the film accidentally captures genuine Suharto-era paranoia and surveillance aesthetics that the CIA plot nearly ignores.
