Trivia:

For most of the flashbacks, footage from another Sci-Fi Channel film "Dragon Storm" was used. The film was tinted sepia.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The two SAS soldiers are wearing the wrong colour berets, their beret pins are on the wrong side, the berets are pulled down on the wrong side, and their patches show them as being part of the current British Army Parachute Regiment 16th Air Assault Brigade, which uses the Pegasus badge to denote the assault on the bridges of Arnhem and Nijmegen (as seen in the film 'A Bridge Too Far'). In addition to this, the rank badge shown on the collar is a US Officers rank badge, and not a British one.

The Nazi's summon a horde of killer Gargoyles.

Interesting to read comments about this film picking holes in the correct way for a WWII SAS officer to wear their beret when there are hundreds of (below average) CGI Gargoyles running around. A bit like having a go at Star Wars because Chewbacca does not have split ends. The film is straight to DVD/Sci-Fi Schlock and there are thousands of other similar movies out there which take themselves a lot more seriously and are more in need of being deflated. The film tries hard and does quite well considering it must be low budget. A more interesting goof is the comment that the holder of the Spear of Destiny was buried like a commoner and then watching the heroes breaking into his tomb - hardly the resting place of a commoner. Nice comment earlier about NAZI interest in the supernatural and mention of the excellent THE KEEP but add to the list RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HELLBOY.
