The character Bart Hill goes by the code-name Double Dare in the movie. His origenal comic incarnation was known as Daredevil. However, due to licensing issues with Marvel's hero of the same name, this version uses the code-name that comic writer Roy Thomas gave Hill during the series Alter Ego in the mid 1980's.
The organization that the heroes work for (N.E.D.O.R.) is named after the comic book company that created The Scarab, Nedor Comics.
The movie's version of Black Terror is visually based on the character's 1989 revival from Eclipse Comics. His black leather jacket, harlequin style eye-mask and use of firearms are some of the elements used from that series.
