Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Steven Seagal's only film to receive actual Oscar nominations—two for sound editing and mixing, which it lost.
The USS Missouri scenes were filmed on the actual decommissioned battleship, making this the most expensive location shoot of its time before it became a Pearl Harbor memorial.
