Trivia

The Denver Mint, featured in the film as the producer of the cash stolen by Qualen and his associates, actually only produces coins. One hundred million dollars from the Denver Mint would weigh two thousand five hundred tons.

Quotes

Delmar: Tell me... do you like soccer? It's a great sport. I was a fuckin' good striker.

Goofs

(at around 1h 7 mins) When Frank shoos the "wolves" away from the bleeding base-jumper hanging in the tree, it is obvious due to their fluffy, curly tails that are in actuality Siberian Huskies.

Alternate Versions

Special Edition DVD features two deleted scenes with introduction by Renny Harlin:

• The first deleted scene is called "Ice Climb" and falls right after the part when Stallone survives the avalanche as he's retrieving the first money case. In this scene, he climbs up a frozen waterfall. The scene which would have followed this was the one in the theatrical version where Stallone reaches the top of the mountain and runs to the lodge to meet Jessie. According to Renny Harlin, the scene was cut because it didn't look real enough...the waterfall was a fiberglass wall and the background was optically inserted. Also, they didn't want Stallone's character to appear invincible and be able to do anything, like in Rambo.
• The second deleted scene is called "King's Leap" and occurs right after the scene where the bridge which connects the two mountain faces is destroyed. In this scene, Stallone does a running jump between the two mountain faces, and safely lands on the wall of the opposing cliff. According to Renny Harlin, this was also cut because while climbers actually jump between mountain faces, the jump they had Stallone doing was a little to far to be believable. They then got around the part of how Gabe & Jessie got around the mountain by having them backtrack and go all the way around. Some audio was also re-recorded for that after the "King's Leap" was cut..
• Portions of both deleted scenes can be seen in the trailer for the movie
