What's left behind the scenes
- Kurosawa's script was based on a real incident involving a locomotive that was left without an engineer and continued running until it could be diverted onto a dead-end spur.
- Akira Kurosawa wrote the script intending to direct it himself in America, but when he arrived in New York and began scouting locations, he discovered that the winter blizzards were so severe his crew couldn't work. He eventually gave the script to Menachem Golan and Yoram Globus, who passed it on to Edward Bunker for revisions, and appointed Konchalovsky as director.
- Despite the significant assistance provided to the film crew by the municipal company 'Alaska Railroad,' they insisted that their logo not appear on screen at any time.
- For the film, Eric Roberts trained in boxing and gained over 10 kilograms of muscle mass.
- To prepare for the role of Manny, Jon Voight spent considerable time with inmates at San Quentin prison. He remained friends with some of them even years later.
- Helicopter pilot Richard Holley died during filming. The film is dedicated to his memory.
- Some prison scenes were filmed at Deer Lodge (Montana), and the railway scenes (station) in the town of Anaconda (Montana).
- The film used locomotives from the Alaska Railroad: EMD GP40 No. 3010, EMD F7 No. 1500, and two EMD GP7s (Nos. 1801 and 1810). While in service with the Alaska Railroad, the GP7 locomotives received a short, reduced-height hood (to improve forward visibility from the cab), but for the film, they were fitted with a simulation of the original full-height hood.
- Kurosawa’s screenplay is based on a real-life incident. A locomotive was left without an engineer and continued traveling until it was diverted onto a dead-end track.
- Akira Kurosawa wrote the screenplay intending to film it in America, but when he arrived in New York and began scouting locations, he found that the winter blizzards were so severe that his crew couldn’t work. He eventually gave the screenplay to Menachem Golan and Yoram Globus, who passed it on to Edward Bunker for revision, and appointed Konchalovsky as the director.
