Roddy Piper said in an interview that the title didn't make a lot of sense as this was the first of the two movies he made with Billy Blanks.
Billy Blanks and Bobbie Phillips also worked together on TC2000.
Originally rated NC-17. Some graphic violence was cut to be re-rated R.
The version released on VHS by Guild Home Video is cut for censorship and a uncut DVD was released by Boulevard Entertainment.
The first of two Roddy Piper and Billy Blanks films, the second is Tough And Deadly 1995
