Despite being released as a 4 episode long television series in Germany, the series was re-edited into a TV movie for the US release.
Due to co-financing the project RTL demanded final say on the casting which resulted in German actor Thomas Gottschalk and David Hasselhoff being cast in the lead roles.
The series has never been released on any home-media beyond a single VHS release.
Co-Production between German television network RTL and Motion Picture Company of America.
