Billed as a "Nitro Original",[2][5] it was an attempt to spin off the popular professional wrestling show WCW Nitro into dramatic programming, and featured Hogan in a harder edged role, among an ensemble cast of action veterans that also included Martin Kove, Billy Drago, Trevor Goddard and Billy Blanks. Hogan and fellow Nitro personality Eric Bischoff were credited as executive producers.[4] The film received a sequel in 1999, called Assault on Death Mountain.[6]
