Movie Trivia:
The helicopter pilot is played by the film's director Andrew Prendergast due to illness of the actor scheduled to play the pilot.
Nefarious junior scientist Dr. Willis is played by screenwriter and assistant producer Paul Mackman, largely because there was nobody else around at the time. Mackman had considerable difficulties with the elaborate dialogue he had written for the character, but had nobody but himself to blame.
