Originally titled 36.15 code Père Noël (which roughly translates to "Dial Code Santa Claus" in French), then retitled to Deadly Games for other international releases, the movie has mostly only been available as a bootleg ever since its original debut in 1990 (after a film festival premiere in 1989).
