Blastfighter - Der Executor

The film was originally slated to be a science fiction film, but complications in production forced it to be scrapped and Dardano Sacchetti was commissioned to write a new script. Since the film had already been announced (and was being sold) under the title "BlastFighter", it was kept the same.

Tires don't squeal "JUST" because of braking. Tires also squeal from a loss of grip on a paved road. So the above mentioned goof is only a partial goof, especially since tires squealing on dirt or gravel roads is one of the most overdone "goofs" of movies & TV shows made during this period.

Footage contained in this film which depicts animals suffering was archive documentary footage and was not instigated by the production company.

Italian DVD release (which is full uncut but with Italian audio and subtitles ONLY!) has quite a few more intense and violent scenes than the Finnish videotape (English audio) that possibly are not censorship cuts but version differences. The rape scene and the beating of the cop in the woods is more intense. Also the "exploding arm" - and "the throatcut" - scenes are not present in the Finnish videotape. There's also some differences in some of the dialogue scenes, like the ending - in the Italian print Eastman and Sopkiw don't say anything to each other while in the english language print they change a few words.
