Trivia:

  • The outdoor, nighttime shots of the military invading Radek's palace were filmed at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The building that is supposed to be Radek's palace is actually Severance Hall. In some shots, you can see part of CWRU's Thwing Student Union behind Severance Hall.
     
  • Randy Newman's score was cut late in post-production by director Wolfgang Petersen for being "too loud and blatty." Bootleg copies are in circulation.
     
  • When Valera gives his thumbprint for a background check near the beginning of the film, the date of birth that comes up among his info (3/21/58) is actor Gary Oldman's real birthday.
     
  • The Russian prison where Radek is held during the movie was filmed at the Mansfield Penitentiary, the same location as The Shawshank Redemption.
     
  • The interiors for Radek's Palace were filmed inside the County Courthouse in Cleveland, OH. The scene were the U.S. team is running down the stairs in front of the statue is in the lobby. There is also a scene in a narrow hallway that takes place in the Law Library in the same building.
