The film is based on the novel of the same name by John Steakley and was filmed over two months – from June 2nd to August 4th, 1997.
Screenwriter Dan Mazur appears in the credits only during the film's release in Europe, but his name disappeared from the list of the film's creators at the premiere in the USA in 1998.
American director and screenwriter Frank Darabont played the episodic role of the car owner who forcefully takes the car from Montoya.
Filming took place in the state of New Mexico (USA), in the cities of Stanley, Santa Fe, Cerrillos, San Julian Pueblo, and Las Vegas.
When Russell Malkey and Dolph Lundgren left the project, and John Carpenter took over directing the film with James Woods in the lead role, the studio decided to cut the film's budget by 2/3. This was done immediately before the start of the production process, so the screenwriter and director had to urgently and radically rewrite the script to fit within the new budget.
John Stickley, the author of the original novel, said after the film's premiere that the film contains most of his dialogue but none of his plot points.
The symbol on the pendant worn by Montoya is a Norse rune meaning 'protector'.
