Did You Know?
Trivia | Al Pacino was initially interested in playing the title character, and worked with the producers on developing the script. However, Pacino ultimately dropped out of the project, due to script problems. Pacino felt, despite numerous revisions, they had never been able to transcend the script's B-movie qualities.
