Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 (2001)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Brian Trenchard-Smith was an atheist who later said he only took Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 because it gave him the chance to direct large-scale war scenes, on the biggest budget of his career to that point.
- Brian Trenchard-Smith had wanted to stage a modern war at an ancient castle since seeing Sydney Pollack's Castle Keep (1969), and got his chance at Castle Ordeski, whose walls still showed cannonball indentations from a sixteenth-century siege.
- The twelve Apache helicopters that strafed the castle battlements were digital, intercut with stuntmen rappelling from off-screen scaffolding. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith said the sequence would have been prohibitive even on his $18 million budget before the computer graphic era.
- Budget limits forced the production to recycle footage from other films: the Air Force One in-flight shots came from the 1997 movie Air Force One, and some of the tank footage was taken from The Beast (1988).
- Lead actor Michael York kept a journal about the making of the film and then published it as a book, Dispatches from Armageddon: Making the Movie Megiddo...a Devilish Diary!.
