Trivia
While filming the climactic fight scene, Mark Hamill was told a punch he'd thrown at Peter Stormare's face didn't look convincing, and was asked to swing "lower and closer." On the next take, Hamill did so and accidentally hit Stormare for real. In a making-of documentary, Hamill is visibly shocked by the accident, which he says split Stormare's lip and caused his face to swell up. In a 2021 interview for Filmtopp, Stormare revealed that one of his teeth was knocked out, forcing him to go to a hospital. He has despised Hamill ever since, calling him "a real idiot" who never apologized: "For me he's a shithead. And he'll always be a shithead. He's in my black book."

Goofs
At the end scene where Hamilton is walking towards the camera, you can see the camera team in his sunglasses.

Comparing to the series "Hamilton"

Well... I'm glad I first saw the series... and sad that I gave up to my curiosity when I saw this cassette. This is not BAD. I've seen so much worse, made with bigger money even, but if I had seen this first I may not have wanted to see the series. All that was better in the film was the song "And then the tears came" which I do not remember from the series at all. OK, you can't push 3 hours of material into 2 hours-film. But: Why in the devil did they have to use WORSE takes of same scenes in the film? That is something I simply can't understand. But still Peter Stormare is good, Lena Olin is good, Yevgeni Lasarev is good. And Mats Långbacka was actually better than I remembered from the series. For you who blame Peter Stormare being one-faced, just for your information - there's much more to him in the series so try to catch that if you can. There's more to EVERYTHING in the series...

A fun quote: Chivartsev: "And this is Commander Hamilton from Swedish Intelligence." Hawkins: "Swedish INTELLIGENCE? There's a controversy in terms..."
