Some Trivia
—————-
Though real corn was used for most of filming, polyurethane corn had to be used for the more difficult action sequences.

The tagline “And a child shall lead them” comes from Isaiah 11:6 in the Old Testament, which reads, “And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.”
