Production Notes
The film was shot near Bangkok, Thailand and in the jungle near the Chiang Mai province.
Some scenes were shot in the Temple of Buddha's Footprint. Crew members and cast removed their shoes and shot in almost total silence.
Midway through the film, Mahoney contracted dysentery, dengue fever, and pneumonia. His weight plummeted from 220 pounds to 175 pounds. Some critics, noting how thin and weary he appeared in some action scenes, said it undermined the film’s credibility. English stuntman Ray Austin made the 120 foot dive for Mahoney at Begor Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
