Trivia / Top Dog

• Box Office Bomb: The film has a budget of $6 million and only earned $5.1 million at the box office. Its poor release timing (see below) didn't help matters.
• Distanced from Current Events: The film had the unfortunate timing of being released 9 days after the Oklahoma City bombing, and as such, all references to domestic terrorism were removed from the marketing.
• Star-Derailing Role: The failure of the film ended Chuck Norris' Hollywood career. His next film, Forest Warrior, went Direct to Video, and his later film appearances are largely cameos like The Expendables 2.
