b.		Robert Downey Jr. did not enjoy working on the production, and in an interview shortly after its release, he said of the film "its possibly the worst action movie of all time, and thats just not good for the maintenance of a good spiritual condition. Youve had a traumatic year, youve been practically suicidal- what do you think would be really healing for you? How about like twelve weeks of running around as Johnny Handgun? I think that if you talk to a spirit guide, they would say, Thatll kill you. I thought maybe there was something I was missing, and what I really needed to do was to be in one of those films that I love taking my kid to. But it wound up being really depressing. Id rather wake up in jail for a TB test than have to wake up another morning knowing Im going to the set of U.S. Marshals."
c.		The teaser trailer was actually Seamus Davey-Fitzpatricks screen test.
d.		The first anime movie to receive a wide release in the United States. Production began in 1982, with the intention of the film being a big-budget showcase of Tokyo Movie Shinsha Co.s animation style to American audiences. The efforts to make it a movie that would appeal to both Japanese and American audiences resulted in the film having a long and troubled production history, as different arms of production (writing, casting, animation, etc) received conflicting instructions as to how to proceed with the film. Over the course of seven years, numerous powerful figures from both Japanese and American film making were hired in various attempts to salvage production. Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata worked for a year, between 1982-1983, but ultimately left do to creative differences with the American production company; Miyazaki later called it "the worst experience" of his career. George Lucas, Christopher Columbus were each brought on board at different points to act as directors/producers/writers, and Ray Bradbury was hired to write a new script. It is unknown how much each contributed to the final product. Although the film premiered in Japan in 1989, it did not receive its intended American release until 1992, a full decade after the start of production; in a final effort to market the film to American audiences, several minutes of the movie had to be edited in order to secure a softer rating.
