Wissenswertes
'Linda Blair' broke her leg while filming. She had to complete the film, including chase scenes in the sewers of Vienna, wearing a cast.

Patzer
The GDR used white license plates, not black ones.

Zitate
Sofia: That's not shaving lotion. It smells like shit! And I don't like that smell. It offends me.

Alternative Versionen
In the US, the Vestron Video VHS and laserdisc versions are fully uncut, running 104 minutes. The current US DVD Versions by Third Strike and later by Panik House (both times released in sets along with Chained Heat and Jungle Warriors) are edited. Missing material includes additional dialogue before the love scene, a scene when Chris Carlson arrives and a cell mate provides basic prison rules, and footage from a rape scene. Some of this material is restored to be viewed separately as a special feature on the Panik House DVD.

One of Linda's most underrated films

Linda Blair has stated that she was sold this film as a "female Midnight Express." Yes, it has elements of that. But it's more like an adult remake of Born Innocent. Linda's character even has the same name, Chris. Born Innocent represents Linda's best work as a juvenile. Her performance is better in Born Innocent than in The Exorcist. Red Heat may well be her best performance as an adult. Yet this is one of the most difficult Blair films to find. I don't think it ever got a proper theatrical release in the United States, although it may have played the grind house circuit. I first saw in on VHS year ago, and watched it recently again on YouTube. It's a wildly entertaining film that's face-paced and got it all - nudity, rape, cat fights, shower scenes, suicide, etc. You've seen it all before, but the setting in an East German prison before the wall came down (actually filmed in Hungary) adds a great deal to the mood and tone of the film. For Linda Blair fans, this film is essential. For fans of women in prison flicks, it's not to be missed.
