The footage of the aircraft carrier passing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge was subsequently used in the opening title sequence of the first two seasons of NCIS (2003), which stars Mark Harmon.
The shot of the aircraft carrier coming into San Francisco Bay at the beginning of the movie was completely unplanned. The entire crew were, at the time, on the Presidio's parade field, along with hundreds of off-duty soldiers, filming a staged parade. When director Peter Hyams saw the fleet coming in, he stopped filming of the parade to get a shot of the ships going past. In the final cut of the movie, only a few seconds of the parade are shown at the beginning, and the rest of the day's shoot was left on the cutting room floor.
The aircraft carrier seen during the opening credits, is the U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN 70) returning to its home port of Alameda, California.
Originally meant to star Sean Connery and Don Johnson, but Johnson had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Miami Vice (1984). Mark Harmon was brought in as a last-minute replacement.
Kevin Costner was contracted to play the role that went to Mark Harmon. Apparently, Costner left the project, much to the disappointment of Sir Sean Connery, who had wanted to work again with his co-star from The Untouchables (1987).
"Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: What in the hell is "the Dead"? Jay Austin: You wouldn't understand. Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Try me. Jay Austin: The Grateful Dead. Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: The Grateful Dead? Jay Austin: Grateful Dead. Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: I don't understand. Jay Austin: [sarcastically] That's a surprise."
"Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Now, are you sure you want to have a fight? Because I'm only gonna use my thumb. Bully in Bar: Thumb? Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: My right thumb. Left one's much too powerful for you."
