Filming began on February 2, 1984. Before Tobe Hooper was finally approved, Michael Winner, at one point, was offered the chance to direct the film.
The movie was originally filmed and promoted under the same title as Colin Wilson source novel. But Cannon Films, which was the studio that backed and produced the film, reportedly spent nearly US$25 million in hopes of creating a full blown blockbuster, and ridiculed The Space Vampires for sounding too much like another of the studio's typical low budget exploitation films.[citation needed] So, the title was changed to Lifeforce, referring to the spiritual energy the space vampires drain from their victims, and it was edited for its U.S. theatrical release by Tri-Star Pictures into a 101 min. domestic cut version that was partially re-scored by Michael Kamen, with a majority of Henry Mancini's original music remaining.

Best piece of writing for a UK character I've heard in ages. I don't know who wrote this but with exception of some of the stereotypes, the UK characters in this aren't too bad.
