It is [[AdaptationDisplacement based on]] the Bruce Nicolaysen novel ''Literature/PerilousPassage''. Nicolaysen also wrote the script, and it is to date his sole screenwriting credit. The film is known to have bombed spectacularly for a variety of reasons including rather shoddy production values despite its budget and star-studded cast, and its rather unusual, meandering editing style. Critics of the time also latched onto a scene involving von Berkow wearing a Nazi jockstrap as the most visible example of the overly-indulgent film's refusal to even take ''itself'' seriously. Nevertheless it remains something of a cult film.
