Meurtres en direct

This movie has been said to have possibly anticipated future world events. James Plath at "DVD Town" said of this movie that, "it's impossible to watch it more than twenty years later without seeing a ton of eerie similarities to the Bush White House", while Paul McElligott at "Celluloid Heroes" wrote: "The idea of the U.S. going to war in the Middle East over dubious claims of terrorists possessing weapons of mass destruction, specifically atomic bombs, is central to the plot. The discovery of the aforementioned bombs dangling from an antenna on top of the World Trade Center is probably far more chilling now than the filmmakers could ever have intended."

Obvious stunt double in place of Sean Connery in the opening skydiving sequence.

Filmed in New York, Washington, D.C., Texas, New Mexico, France, Italy and Hagreb. [Hagreb is a fictional country featured in the movie, and France and Italy appear only in archive footage.]

The UK video release versions entitled "The Man with the Deadly Lens" were cut first by 2 seconds, then re-released cut by 7 seconds to reduce footage of a bomb being made from a light bulb. However, the DVD released in 2004 entitled "Wrong is Right" is uncut.
