The scenes, in which the yacht and the island are bombed by fighter jets, are stock footage videos and do not show US Air Force aircraft, but MiG-23s with Russian jets and McDonnell F-4 jets with Israeli country code.
As the survivors escape the island in a helicopter, the pilot is incorrectly in the left seat. Helicopter pilots operate the aircraft from the right seat.
The house location in Isla Damas is the main building of the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanical Garden, which was also used in the director's previous film Curse of the Komodo.
The film's budget was about $450,000. The DVD was released in the U.S. on July 25, 2006 by Lions Gate Entertainment, and in Europe on August 16, 2006 by Cine Plus Home Entertainment.
