TRIVIA

Trivia

When this film was released in the United Kingdom, the movie carried a legal warning and disclaimer that it was not in any way related to or a sequel to the film The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957).

This film was not released in the USA in cinemas because of legal reasons.

This movie is not an official sequel to The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957). It does supposedly follow-on from historical events as depicted in that film but the characters in both films are basically different.

Director Andrew V. McLaglen made another forgotten sequel to a popular WW2 war movie. His movie Breakthrough (1979) is an actual sequel to Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron (1977).

Brazil Maru was a 5,860-ton cargo ship, completed in 1919. Requisitioned by the Imperial Army (IJA) as a troop transport in October 1941. Just over 4 months after the events in this movie takes place, near the Inland Sea of Japan, the BRAZIL MARU strikes a mine about 1.5 miles off the Wada-misaki lighthouse and sinks near Kobe, Shikoku on May 25, 1945.
