Trivia
The film features one Oscar (Academy Award) nominee - Karen Black - and two Golden Globe Award nominees - Lee Majors and Marisa Berenson - and one Golden Globe Award winner - Karen Black, who won two gongs.

Goofs
One of the final shots of the destruction of the oil refinery, a crew member is in the background. The scenes use miniature model sets, so he looks gigantic.

Quotes
Kate Neville: Have you ever broken it before?
Hans: Probably.

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC for an 'A' (PG) certificate with heavy edits to the killing of Ollie by the piranhas. The 1986 Channel 5 was uncut and the certificate raised to a '15'.

Fun

I had a lot of fun with this movie, which is not the same thing as having a lot of fun at it. There was something cozy about its simple plot and its even simpler faith in tried and true conventions. It could be accused of many things, including laughable dialogue, hysterical performances and insane camera angles, but it could not be accused of dishonesty.
