Trivia

• * Stefania Girolami is the director’s daughter and niece of Thomas Moore (Ennio Girolami) who played Ed Fisher in this movie and President Clark in the sequel.

• * Mark Gregory was working in a shoe shop before this movie and was spotted in a gym. He was a mere scrap of 18 when the film was made.

• * Permission was not given for streets to be closed down for shooting. This is why as the Riders drive through “No Man’s Land” traffic can be seen proceeding in an orderly fashion, cars are parked untouched and shops are open.

• * The German version of the film misses off the opening written explanation as to the state of the Bronx. This makes the film completely different as it means the Bronx is simply crime-ridden, not lawless.

• * In the British version of the film released on the Entertainment in Video label some scenes were cut due to censorship. Most notably when The Riders find Chris on the pier. This was shortened due to the many close-ups of Chris’s body.

• * The video release in the USA is missing several key scenes (Fisher’s conversation about hiring Hammer, the entire scene with the Iron Men) but has two scenes that the English Entertainment in Video version lacks. A big scene after the funeral of The Riders throwing ash into the water and a conversation between Trash and Anne on the beach where she tells him she feels guilty about the deaths and Trash says that death gets on our skin and lives with us (this means that Anne’s final speech makes a lot more sense).
•  
• * When framed by Hammer for the murder of the giggling Tiger, Paul and Trash are seen together and then Paul simply vanishes not to be seen again until the finale. This apparent teleportation can be explained from a lobby card and also a scene in the trailer where Paul runs outside to be confronted by the Tigers and is held down while Witch kicks him in the face. This was edited out before the film's release.
