Final major theatrical movie directed by Michael Cimino, as The Sunchaser (1996) primarily went direct-to-video in most territories.
An interrogation scene between Chandler (Lindsay Crouse) and Breyers (Kelly Lynch) was cut from the final movie, because test audiences were convinced that the scene implied that the two are lesbians.
The original cut was over 140 minutes.
This remake of the classic The Desperate Hours (1955) was released 35 years later. This movie was the third English language version of the story, being released 23 years after the television movie version.
