The film cost $30 million to produce, over three times more than the original. David Brown says that they did not budget the film "because Universal would never have given a green light to a $30-million budget in those days." The Marine Division Head for Universal on location, Philip Kingry, says that "it cost approximately $80,000 per day to make that movie." When Kingry asked Brown what his budget was, the producer responded, "We're not wasteful, but we're spending the profit from Lo squalo (1975), and it will take what it takes."
