The name of the main character was supposed to be named Goma, short for his name Hilario Gomez. Goma is Filipino word for rubber. The idea was shelved since actor Richard Gomez, who is nicknamed Goma, protested the use. The producer instead used Larry.
Oyo Boy Sotto got an introduction billing in this movie, although he already appeared in Crocodile Jones: The Son of Indiana Dundee (1990)
