Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Curt M. Faudon mostly directed TV movies; this was his rare theatrical attempt that went straight to video in most markets.
Thomas Heinze was a huge German TV star — casting him opposite obscure Italian comedian Jerry Calà shows the pan-European co-production chaos of late-90s genre films.
