Mickey Rourke underwent a serious martial arts regime to obtain the physical appearance in the film, and to prepare for his fight scenes with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
The original spec, titled "The Colony", was written by Don Jakoby and sold in the $1M/$1.5M range in July 1995. It was set on an island off the coast of Greece that serves as a safe haven for CIA agents whose cover is blown and centered on a man escaping the island in order to seek revenge on his arch enemy. Jean-Claude Van Damme thought it was a great script, but he stated that it was extensively rewritten, and the changes made the final movie a bit too cartoonish.
Next movie in which Jean-Claude Van Damme was going to star in after Double Team (1997) was an action horror Abominable, which was described as "Predator (1987) in a snow", in which his character would have to save group of people lost in snowy mountains from abominable snowman. Between 1995 and 2000, directors Peter Hyams and Renny Harlin were involved in the project, but due to poor box office results of Van Damme's films, Universal studio cancelled Abominable project. Despite many rumors, 2006 Bigfoot horror Abominable was not based on that cancelled Van Damme movie.
Sammo Kam-Bo Hung was brought in as Special Action Choreographer to help with the fight scenes.
Hark Tsui's English-language directorial debut.
"Stavros: You know, Jack... I can call you Jack, can't I? I bet there's not a single night where you can close your eyes tight enough without seeing my little boy's face. I'm gonna give you a chance to know your son. If you live today, you'll get to know your son. And if you don't, I'll raise him as my own. You know, men are strong, Jack, but the tiger is stronger. Oh, one more thing, Jack. There's nothing wrong with stepping on a mine. It's stepping off that counts."
"Jack Quinn: Who does your hair, Siegfried or Roy? Yaz: The last guy that made fun of my hair is still trying to pull his head outta his ass. Jack Quinn: I don't wanna know about your sex life."
