The film was originally titled The Extremists by Duguay for its main plot concerning both "extreme" sports and terrorists, but the title was changed to avoid the obvious negative connotations in a terror-obsessed post-9/11 society. The film performed very poorly worldwide, especially in Europe and North America where the American characters were seen as inauthentic caricatures.
