Trivia
The original script called for an adventure film in the mould of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and would have been much more faithful to Johns' original novels. During scriptwriting, however, Back to the Future (1985) was released and became a major hit, so the script was duly altered to follow this trend, in an attempt to capitalise on Back to the Future's popularity.
Quotes
Biggles:
Quick! Untie us before they realise you're not a God, you're just an American.
Goofs
At many points during the film the heroes use machine guns, it looks as though every one is a Sten gun type, which weren't in use until the late 1930's.
Crazy Credits
In the end of the credits it says: Filmed on location in New York - London - and the Western Front 1917.
