Ernie Hudson said he took the role of Hawkins cause he wanted to get as far away from civilization as he could following the making of the film 'The Crow' and the death of its star, Brandon Lee.
The film is a loose adaptation of the 1987 novel "The Penal Colony" by Richard Herley. In the novel, the British government runs prison island for convicts from it's mainland prisons. On those prison islands, new arrivals are dumped on the islands by helicopters, where they must learn to survive and satellites are used to keep an eye on the convicts. A man named Anthony John Routledge, wrongly convicted of a sex-murder, which he didn't do, is dumped on "Sert", a prison island off the north Cornish coast and he soon learns not all the convicts on the prison island are savage and discovers a community of resourceful men led by one man and he sets out to forget the rules of living a civilized life.
Ray Liotta agreed to take the lead role of Robbins, because he had always wanted to do an action movie, where he played an heroic character.
The helicopter "gunship" is, in actuality, a Russian Kamov Ka-27 'Helix' anti-submarine helicopter. The Helix features a coaxial rotor, and thus looks unfamiliar (and thus potentially futuristic) to Western audiences.
Through out the entire movie, there is not one single female character. There are only male characters.
"Warden: You have come here from all over the world because society has no further use for you. The international prison system has given up all hopes of your rehabilitation. This place will now be your holding pen untill your death. Because death is the only way out. There is no chance of reprieve here, No possibility of escape. You are condemned. Either accept it... Or die..."
"Warden: Was there something you wanted to add? Robbins: Don't ever turn your back on me again."
