    • Trivia
      Embeth Davidtz's debut.
    • Alternate versions
      German VHS release by New Vision Video was slightly cut to avoid being indexed. The fire torch scene was shortened by 20 seconds to reduce violence. The upcoming German DVD release in 2024 will be completely uncensored and waive this slight censorship.
