TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The movie was filmed on location in Spain, a country selected for its abundant desert landscape. Ironically, production was held up for several weeks due to--of all things--rain. It was also selected for its lower production costs - lower taxes, non-union crew, etc. - at the time.

All of the main characters' names are from enlightenment legends and myths from various cultures.

A year later Jami Gertz (Terra) and Jason Patric (Jason) would appear in The Lost Boys (1987).

The later film Tank Girl (1995) has an almost similar plot to this film. In that film, Rebecca "Tank Girl" Buck sets out to fight back against the evil corporation that has taken over the world and is controlling the planet's water supply.

Dune (1984) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) are influences behind the film.

Popular Dialogues

"Gavial: [making improper advances] Terra? I like the sweat. Terra: Get out, you creature of filth! Gavial: Hey, I just wanna talk. Maybe a little HANDS-ON PARLEY? Terra: [hits him with her shovel] Now I'm listening. Gavial: [backs off] Next time."

"The Warden: [words of wisdom to the Solarbabies] Remember, behavior determines existence... Stick with us, learn to serve the Order, and you'll achieve a decent life-grid."
