This movie is an unofficial sequel to red heat. Alexander Nevski always dreamed of being just like Arnold Schwarzenegger and he was in a movie with almost the same last name as Red Heat(1988). He went into body building at 15 years old and got into action movies because of Schwarzenegger. His acting style is similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger's , where he constantly says one liners and has big muscles, so his character Vlad Stepanov was a perfect match to Ivan Danko in Red Heat.
Richard Tyson Played the main villain in this movie called Nikolay Klimov, and he also played the main villain with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie "kindergarten Cop"(1990).
