    • Trivia
      The Arrow was originally pitched as a major movie to Hollywood, but no American studio would touch the project, thus it being re-invented as a big budget TV movie.
    • Goofs
      In the movie the engines were silent when the sound barrier was broken. When one breaks the sound barrier, the engines do not all of a sudden become quiet. The sound can be heard through the aircraft itself.
    • Alternate versions
      The Special DVD Edition cuts the opening credits of the second half of the mini-series, as well as the scene where sputnik flys across space.
