Movie Trivia:
- The aircraft Hamill's character is flying is a BROOKLAND AEROSPACE OPTICA OA7
-
Byron's line "I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth - put out my hand and touched the Face of God," is taken from the poem High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr., a British-American aviator who died in a mid-air collision during WWII. On his grave is inscribed the first and last lines from his poem. This line is a direct allusion to that poem and befitting the film's predominant theme of aviation.
-
Never given a cinema release in the USA.
