This was the third consecutive action film which Keenen Ivory Wayans had starred in. The others include Um Tira Sem Vergonha (1994) and Glimmer Man: O Homem das Sombras (1996) co-starring Steven Seagal.
At the end of the film when James Dunn is watching the news in the TV repair shop, you see both Keenen Ivory Wayans and his stunt double next to each other. He's wearing an Olive Green satin jacket in which Wayans utters "You look just like that guy" as the film's final punchline.
This film reunites Jon Voight and Eric Roberts, since their collaboration in Expresso Para o Inferno (1985), in which Voight was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, while Roberts was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
Originally, Keenen Ivory Wayans had intended to direct the film but problems on Glimmer Man: O Homem das Sombras (1996) forced him to choose another director. However, after filming had started in August 1996, that director was replaced by David Hogan after Wayans had seen his work on Barb Wire: A Justiceira (1996) which caused a slight delay.
Despite being reunited from their roles in Expresso Para o Inferno (1985), both Oscar winner Jon Voight and Oscar nominee Eric Roberts do not share any screen time together in the film.
