Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot in Yugoslavia standing in for East Germany because actual filming behind the Iron Curtain was impossible in 1988.

Cultural

This arrived months before the Berlin Wall fell, making its paranoid urgency accidentally historical—like watching someone worry about Y2K in 1999.
