The movie was shot in Jefferson County, Missouri and only received a limited release on VHS in the nearby area.
The film was originally released in late 1985, but re-edited by Ron D. White in 1989 as Ninja: The Ultimate Warrior in hopes of finding nationwide distribution. This version was unreleased until it premiered at the Melba Theater in 2014.
Most of the cast and crew on the film were friends and students of Ron D. White.
