Anecdotes
Filmed in late 1988 - early 1989, and shown once at a French film festival in May 1989, but did not go into wide release until August 1990. This was released in many areas outside of the United States with the title "Terminator II", a supposed "sequel" to James Cameron's Terminator (1984), despite having nothing to do with Cameron's film. Due to rights issues, it wasn't released in the United States until 2018, when Severin Films released the film on DVD and Blu-ray.

Gaffes
When Samuel Fuller falls off the railing, it is clearly a dummy. It's made even more obvious when it hits off a pipe and the head comes flying off.

Citations
Samuel Fuller: Just what do you think you are going to do to me with that? It won't even scratch me.

Autres versions
The Japanese cut of the film is several minutes longer than any other print. Additional scenes include a prologue, an introduction to Geretta Geretta's character, and several minutes of the remaining team wandering throughout the tunnels looking for the Tubular Corporation Command Center.

Don't confuse this with the real thing.

This film has nothing to do with the 1991 sequel to the 1984 film "The Terminator." In fact, this is a low-budget film about a motely group of half-man, half-machine creatures stalking and battling each other in a post-apocalyptic future. It rips off (poorly) from just about every significant sci-fi film ever made (including BUT NOT LIMITED TO Star Trek, Aliens, Predator, Highlander, Mad Max, Terminator, etc). It was simply named "Terminator II" because of some similar plot ideas to the Schwartzenegger movie, and probably to cash in on the success of the original film.

As an unofficial sequel, it doesn't hold a candle to the official one made in 1991, a classic in it's own right. And as a film, it's even worse. Summing it up, it's simply not a good movie. Poor effects, poor acting, and lousy storyline. Skip it and go with the REAL, James Cameron sequel.
