| Production notes | Two duplicate helicopters were built for the production, but only one is ever seen on film. The choppers were lent to the makers of the Amerika mini-series to pose as Russian assault choppers and can be seen together in this film. |
| Release notes | The first DVD release contains the deleted scene where Kate rolls the car in the alley, resulting in large roof dents that mysteriously appear for viewers of the theatrical version that had the scene removed. |
