The movie was filmed on location in Spain, a country selected for its abundant desert landscape. Ironically, production was held up for several weeks due to...rain! moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Ivor is leading Darstar to meet Canis in the old funhouse, you can see the eyes blink and mouth twitch of an actor who is supposed to be a wax figure hangman. moreQuotes:
The Warden: [words of wisdom to the Solarbabies] Remember, behavior determines existence... Stick with us, learn to serve the Order, and you'll achieve a decent life-grid. moreSoundtrack:

I remember watching this when it appeared on television. I thought it was fabulous. At the moment I only have a recording on VHS, but would buy this film on DVD once a decision has been made to release it in the UK. The storyline is impossible (how can you store water of a vast amount as seen in the film?), but I love it all the same. For its time the settings and effects are amazing. I remember fantasising that I was Daniel who had found Bodahi and watched the film more through his eyes. Though I suppose this would be the same with anyone else?
An interest I found in this film is that Jami Gertz and Jason Patric work so well together as a couple that they appear together in 'The Lost Boys'.
