Production

The film was announced in May 1990, under its original title McBain’s Seven. In September of that year, it was announced that filming would begin shooting on a sixty-two day schedule under its shortened title McBain. While the film received offers from several major studios for distribution, production company Shapiro-Glickenhaus Entertainment ultimately decided to release the film themselves committing an estimated $8-$10 million for promotion and the manufacture of 1200 film prints as selling distribution rights would’ve meant relinquishing the home video rights
