Production

Final Mission was the first in a trilogy of films made by producer Anthony Maharaj and director Cirio H. Santiago who first met in January 1982 at the Manila International Film Festival.

Maharaj was impressed with the footage of Santiago's Stryker (1983) that was screened at the festival and came up with the idea of a collaboration. He suggested a story inspired by Ted Kotcheff's First Blood. Santiago hired regular collaborators Jose Mari Avellana and American expatriate filmmaker Joseph Zucchero to write a screenplay based on Maharaj's outline.

Most of the picture was filmed on location in the Philippines, mainly in and around Baguio and Lake Caliraya. Some second unit scenes were shot in downtown Los Angeles, particularly in the Skid Row neighborhood.

French composer Georges Garvarentz was commissioned to write an orchestral score and to contribute to the title song Always On My Mind, a Soft rock melodic ballad performed by Steve Butler and produced by Alistair Gordon. The soundtrack was released as a Single in France by the Decca label.
