- TriviaBilly Blanks' portrayal of Khan in this film has officially been mentioned (by former Capcom R&D member James Goddard) as the inspiration for the Street Fighter character Dee Jay, who made his first appearance in Super Street Fighter II.

- Quotes
[from trailer]
Prang: What are you doing back here in Thailand?
Jake Donahue: [referring to Khan] You can help me. Teach me how to stop him.
Prang: [remembers his defeat at Khan's hands and is doubtful that he can help] What I have to offer, might not be enough.
- Alternate versionsThe UK video version was cut by 46 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of a naked woman's corpse and a man impaled by a hook, and to edit a scene where a man's face is burnt by an electric fire. The cuts were restored for the 2004 DVD.

Featured review
I can't explain it, but I love this movie. What gives that movie the edge is the performance of Keith Cooke and Billy Blanks. Loren Avedon cannot keep up with them although he plays the main character (who is quite arrogant in my opinion). The film features decent fights with moody music, all overacted and unrealistic but highly entertaining. When Jake, still in the US, watches that movies and complains about their low quality, its "No retreat, no surrender 3" (starring Loren Avedon, too) and one might find a small piece of self-irony, too.
