TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Debut film scored by music composer Hans Zimmer who was billed as a composer of electronic music for the picture.

Director Jerzy Skolimowski's Kensington house in West London was in real life undergoing renovation at the time the film was made.

Gene Siskel considered this to be the best film of 1982.

Three of the Polish builders seen in the film actually in real-life worked on director Jerzy Skolimowski's Kensington house in West London.

The movie was a political response from exiled Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski's to the sudden and dramatic imposition of Martial Law in his home country of Poland which occurred after the Solidarity uprising. According to 'Time Out', the film was "Conceived and made with an urgency appropriate to the December 1981 military clampdown on Skolimowski's native Poland".

Popular Dialogues

"Nowak: I can speak their language, this is why the boss chose for me for the job. But I don't know what they really mean."

"[last lines] Nowak: 2:00 AM. Tuesday. 5th January, 1982. All we have left now is my five pennies and a six hour walk to Heathrow Airport. Now I cannot delay any longer. I must tell them the truth. What is happening in our country. God help me."
