[edit] Production and reception
Originally titled The Extremists by its French director for its plot concerning both "extreme" sports and terrorists, the title was changed so as to avoid the obvious negative connotations in a terror-obsessed post-September 11th society. The film performed very poorly worldwide, especially in America where the American characters were seen as inauthentic caricatures.
