This project took over 10 years to get produced. It had been optioned by three studios and had been re-written at least five times to cater to the whims of either a studio or a star. Originally set in New York, it was later changed to Los Angeles then to Prague and finally Spokane, Washington. The final "change" was the elimination of any and all references to Israel and the removal of the Hasidim from the script of a movie about diamonds and centered in the diamond district of a major American city. The producer (an Israeli) said he could not sell the film to "certain territories" if these elements remained in the film.

Chuck Norris retired from acting after making this film, although he later agreed to appear in The Expendables 2 (2012).

The climactic scene where the three protagonists leap out of a doorway just as a bomb goes off was filmed at the back door of a shuttered Wonder Bread bakery. The building stood empty for twelve years following the film until it was demolished to make way for a condominium.

The movie featured the howie long scream when Chuck Norris threw a guy outta the window.

The "University of Spokane" shown in the film is actually Gonzaga University.
