The real life Walter Maresch told the current affairs program 'Willesee' that the reason he escaped from prison in 1984 was that he was scared of the response of other inmates and wardens if they saw the film 'Hostage'(1983), which was being shown on television later that day, and he thought the screening would destroy all hopes of any early parole.
In real life, on 2nd October 1984, thirty-three year old Walter Maresch escaped from Silverwater Jail in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia after serving six years of a fourteen year sentence for car theft and armed robbery. He went on the run but was later caught and re-imprisoned. He later stated that his reason for escaping was that 'Hostage' (1983) was being shown on television later that day.
The billing of some cast and crew credits are spelled incorrectly in either the film's opening or closing credits.
An article published in the 12th September 1986 edition of 'The Sydney Morning Herald' reported Walter Maresch allegedly threatened to blow up the television studio of Channel 10 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia because the TV network had shown 'Hostage' (1983) on television.
This 1983 Australian feature film was not released on DVD nor Blu-Ray until the year 2020. Previously, after its 1983 theatrical release in Australia, it had been released on home video VHS/Beta in January 1984. The interval between its Australian tape and Australian disc releases is about thirty-six years.
