Stewart Copeland, drummer for rock band "The Police", composed the soundtrack for this movie. For inspiration, he immersed himself in Eastern European Gypsy and folk music.
Writer and director Paul Feig chose to give the character David the gift of quickly assimilating and communicating in new languages in order to avoid subtitling. He believed subtitling the many languages in this movie would have distanced the viewers from the story.
"Young David" was played by Clem Tibber, the real-life younger brother of Ben Tibber, who played David through the rest of this movie.
Although Hristo Shopov is fluent in English, most of his dialogue was dubbed by another actor (against the wishes of writer and director Paul Feig) due to the studio's concern about his accent.
Paul Feig revealed in 2020 that the movie bombed because, upon being told what it was about, no one wanted to see it, and one theater actually paid attendees $5 a person to see the film, adding that this audience loved the film.
"David: Why do they hate us so much Johannes? Johannes: Because it's easy to hate people who don't believe the same things you do."
"[first lines] Title Card: In the years after World War II, many people in Eastern Europe were sent to forced labor camps for disagreeing with their new governments. Because of this, families were torn apart. Life in these camps was very harsh, and escape was not an option. And yet, for one boy named David, it was his only hope... The Man: Are you listening to me? You must escape from here tonight. It's your only chance to stay alive. If you follow my instructions and make it out of the camp. Travel when it's dark to free Bulgaria so you won't be seen. They'll be everywhere waiting to arrest you. And unless you're very careful, you'll be caught. If you make it across the border, you must get the envelope to Denmark. First, head south to Selonika, and hide in a ship that's going to Italy. When you arrive there, travel north as far as you can. Your journey will be long and it may be impossible, but you must get this envelope to the authorities in Denmark. You must not open it. If anyone sees its contents before you get there you'll end up back here. Do you understand? The Man: I know you've lived in this camp your entire life, but there is a world outside it. However, it's a very dangerous world. Trust no one."
