The series used slow-motion effects for the "action", which Warner Brothers had previously featured in the 1969 Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or history:
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
