What's left behind the scenes

The original title of the film translates to “1968. Tunnel Rats”.
At a preview of the film, Uwe Boll stated that the film had no script and that all the dialogue was improvised by the actors.
The opening credits feature the song “In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)” written by American pop-rock duo Zager & Evans. Becoming an American hit in 1969, it was originally released in 1968, which is referenced in the film's title. The song is an apocalyptic prediction of the future and foretells the inevitable degradation of human civilization.
