The character Shu Kai Kim is based on Korean-American Chol Soo Lee, who was imprisoned for nearly ten years after a wrongful conviction for a murder he did not commit.
Although much is made of Shu Kai Kim's supposedly distinctly Korean facial features, he was played by Yuji Okumoto, a Japanese-American actor.
It was followed by the short-lived TV series, Eddie Dodd, with Treat Williams taking over Woods' role.
The film was released in Australia as "Fighting Justice."
