==Production==
The project originated as a pitch written by [Kevin Bernhardt](/source/Kevin_Bernhardt) and was pre-sold under the title "Captured".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dolph-ultimate.com/dolph-in/captured.html|title=Captured|website=www.dolph-ultimate.com|access-date=2025-03-30}}</ref>

[Steve Latshaw](/source/Steve_Latshaw) was approached by producer [Andrew Stevens](/source/Andrew_Stevens) to rewrite his script "Counter Measures" for a Dolph Lundgren film, Latsaw later discovered that [Damian Lee](/source/Damian_Lee) was hired to write the script, and also be the film's director.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.reelcriticism.com/ziggyrealm/columns/latshawinterview_2_20_03.html|title=The Checks Cleared: An Interview with Steve Latshaw|date=2003-02-20|website=www.reelcriticism.com|access-date=2025-03-30|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030423044212/http://www.reelcriticism.com/ziggyrealm/columns/latshawinterview_2_20_03.html|archive-date=April 23, 2003|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

After filming was completed, Stevens deemed the film too inept to be released, and brought Latshaw in to make the film at least half-competent, while [Jim Wynorski](/source/Jim_Wynorski) was hired to direct some new scenes (about 40 minutes of footage in three days) and insert stock footage (mostly from [Fred Olen Ray](/source/Fred_Olen_Ray)'s ''Counter Measures'' with [Michael Dudikoff](/source/Michael_Dudikoff) of which it became a remake) where appropriate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dolph-ultimate.com/dolph-in/agent.html|title=Agent|website=www.dolph-ultimate.com|access-date=2025-03-30}}</ref>
