Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Lorca and the Outlaws (1984)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The film was initially intended to be shot in Sweden, but moved to Sydney, Australia so the crew could use a docked battleship for the interiors of the Redwing starship. Christian only went on board the battleship once, so alternative sets had to be built or found.
- The majority of filming was done at Mount Newman, a mining community in Western Australia that let the production use the mine and some of the equipment because management thought it would make a good diversion for their workforce.
- During production Roger Christian received an offer to handle second-unit direction of Ridley Scott's Legend, but turned it down to focus on completing this film.
