Interesting facts

Future Hunters is a 1986 action adventure film directed by Cirio H. Santiago and written by J. Lee Thompson. It stars Robert Patrick and Linda Carol with a cameo appearance of Richard Norton and Bruce Lee impersonator Bruce Le.

Production

After the international success of Final Mission (1984) and Naked Vengeance (1985), Vestron Pictures executive Austin O. Furst Jr. approached the producer/director duo Cirio H. Santiago and Anthony Maharaj to do another film for them as a negative pickup deal.

The movie went into production in 1986 with the working title Spear Of Destiny.

Principal photography took place on a 12 hours per day, six days a week shooting schedule. Actress Linda Carol described the working conditions as strenuous. She reported having suffered a heat stroke during shooting.

Most of the picture was filmed on location in the Philippines, namely in Metro Manila, the sand dunes near Suba Beach at Laoag, Ilocos Norte, Baguio, at the Calinawan Cave in Tanay, Rizal, and the Manila Garden Hotel amongst other places. Some exteriors were shot in Hong Kong.

After the successful collaboration on Naked Vengeance (1985), composer Ron Jones was once again commissioned to create the soundtrack for this film. Jones created an epic soundtrack dominated by fanfares, which is reminiscent of his later score for Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1991).
