  • During Col Rhode's (Gene Hackman) first conversation with Major Johnson (Harold Sylvester), the Major relays a story on how he won the Distinguished Flying Cross in Vietnam. The story closely resembles a similar real life rescue from the book and movie Bat*21 (1988), which Gene Hackman starred in 5 years later.

  • Gene Hackman asked his good friend and co-star in Cisco Pike (1972), Kris Kristofferson, a former Airborne Ranger, if he wanted to do a cameo in this film. Kristofferson had to decline because he was on a concert tour.
