Did You Know?
| Trivia | At one point, Lou Ferrigno walked into Menahem Golan's office after reading the original script, which was filled with more violence and gratuitous sex, told him that the script was a "piece of shit," and threw into the garbage. Ferrigno wanted a more family-oriented fantasy film, which was finally released against Golan's wishes. See more » |
