- Work historyFilmed entirely on location in the 20th century in the Roundhouse Studios, London and Morocco. Following a successful lawsuit brought by Fleetway Comics that argued that the film plagiarised a ‘2000 AD’ comic strip called "SHOK!", a notice was added to later releases giving credits to the strip's publisher, Fleetway Publications and creators, Steve MacManus and Kevin O'Neill.
