What's left behind the scenes
- The battleship "Alabama" was used as the legendary battleship "Missouri" during filming. Since 1964, it has stood permanently docked as a museum ship in Mobile, Alabama. One of the biggest challenges for the film crew was to create the illusion of a moving ship in the open sea. To this end, a 35-meter barge draped with black fabric was created, which, if necessary, blocked the lights and buildings of the big city from entering the frame.
- The same issue of Playboy magazine appeared in the film "Home Alone" (1990).
- Nine actors who participated in the film moved with director Andrew Davis to his next project, which was the thriller "The Fugitive" (1993).
- For the British release, several scenes were slightly cut and re-edited to obtain a milder age rating of '15'.
- Admiral Bates states in the film that Casey Ryback led a special forces team on a mission in Panama and was the only survivor of the group. In reality, during this mission, 4 people were killed and 8 were injured.
- The opening narration is read by Don Marsh, a former news anchor for KTVI/KDNL television.
- Harrison Ford watched this film while deciding whether to accept the leading role offered to him in 'The Fugitive'. The actor was so impressed with director Andrew Davis' work that he immediately accepted the offer.
- Erika Eleniak, who plays 'Miss July 1989' in the film, was actually named Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1989.
- The USS Drum submarine played the role of a North Korean submarine.
- Filming took place from March 2nd to May 19th, 1992.
- For the British release, several scenes were slightly cut and re-edited to achieve a milder age rating of '15'.
- Harrison Ford watched this film to decide whether to accept the leading role offered to him in 'The Fugitive'. The actor was so impressed with the work of director Andrew Davis that he immediately accepted the offer.
- Steven Seagal appears in this film without his signature ponytail. The US Navy prohibits hair longer than 10 cm.
- At the beginning of the film, a Navy ship is shown – it is indeed the battleship Missouri, which was still in service at the time of filming. Afterwards, the battleship Alabama was used for filming the ship both externally and internally.
- The film's box office success led to delays in filming the third installment of the Die Hard franchise. Initially, it was supposed to be about terrorists taking over a cruise liner, but it was then decided that the similarity to the plot of Andrew Davis's action film would be too obvious, and the plot was rewritten several times until the version that John McTiernan filmed as Die Hard 3: Vengeance (1995) emerged.
- Filming this movie made Steven Seagal a major star, but the actor had already shown arrogance towards his co-workers on set. He exhibited this behavior even during filming with Andrew Davis. During the filming of one scene, for example, he ran over Troy Evans, which made Evans furious, ask to stop filming, and give Seagal a dressing-down, warning him that he wouldn't limit himself to words next time. Seagal tried to apologize, but Evans, a war veteran, refused to accept the apology, and since then, Seagal tried to avoid him.
- At the time of filming, stuntman and actor John Rottger was still serving in the US Navy, and in working on this film, he acted as a technical consultant. He was given a small role as an officer who the terrorist played by Tommy Lee Jones killed first. This was Rottger's first role in a movie, and afterwards he participated as a stunt performer in the making of many films. In addition, he became very friendly with Tommy Lee Jones, and they subsequently worked together repeatedly on various projects.
