When Modesty says, sarcastically, that she's 65, in "reality" she was telling the truth. This movie takes place in 2003 and in the comic Modesty was born around the year 1938. Exactly 65 years before 2003.

Produced in order for Miramax to retain the rights to Modesty Blaise. Produced as a prequel to the popular spy comic strip, plans call for this film to be followed by more Blaise movies taking place during the timeframe of the comic strip.

Since this film takes place prior to Blaise's exploits with The Network, the criminal organization she ran before becoming an agent for British Intelligence, the character of Willie Garvin, Blaise's right-hand man, does not appear. This is the only official Modesty Blaise adventure (comic strip, novel or film) in which Garvin does not appear.

Shooting took 18 days.

Producer Ted Nicolaou was originally set to direct, up until a week before shooting, when Harvey Weinstein changed his mind and offered Scott Spiegel a chance to helm the film.
