    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Filmed in late 1988 - early 1989, and shown once at a French film festival in May 1989, but did not go into wide release until August 1990. This was released in many areas outside of the United States with the title "Terminator II", a supposed "sequel" to James Cameron's The Terminator (1984), despite having nothing to do with Cameron's film. Due to rights issues, it wasn't released in the United States until 2018, when Severin Films released the film on DVD and Blu-ray.
    • Goofs
      When Samuel Fuller falls off the railing, it is clearly a dummy. It's made even more obvious when it hits off a pipe and the head comes flying off.
    • Quotes
      • Samuel Fuller: Just what do you think you are going to do to me with that? It won't even scratch me.
    • Alternate versions
      The Japanese cut of the film is several minutes longer than any other print. Additional scenes include a prologue, an introduction to Geretta Geretta's character, and several minutes of the remaining team wandering throughout the tunnels looking for the Tubular Corporation Command Center.

      Edited from Double Target (1987)
