• Chuck Pfarrer explained in an interview that the comic book was based on the script that he wrote in the early-'90s.

Several years later, when special effects technology had caught up, Pfarrer revised the original script.
  
  
• Based on a Dark Horse comic book of the same name.

• The ship used for this movie's setting was the ex-USAFS Hoyt S. Vandenberg. At the time of filming the ship had been decommissioned since the mid-80's and mothballed in the James River Reserve Fleet, Virginia. She still has the Russian name on her from the movie. She is also planned to be sunk as an artificial reef near Key West in early '08.
