This film originated the "shooting the swordsman" gag that was popularized in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). A similar scene was recycled into the plot of the film Fit to Kill (1993) where a hitwoman with a machete was shot.
There is no credited composer on the film. Writer/Director Andy Sidaris may have possibly used music from ABC's Wide World of Sports vast music library to score the film since Sidaris worked on that show for more than a decade. Even the music tracks aren't credited to specific composers during the end credits.
One of the last films released by American International Pictures as the company would become Filmways Pictures a year later with Brian DePalma's Dressed To Kill being one of their first releases.
This film did not receive a DVD or Blu-Ray release until this year, 2018 which is almost 40 years after the film was produced and released, which was 1979.
Despite being the second Andy Sidaris directed feature, some of the film's story and plot were reused or inspired in his later films starting with Malibu Express in 1985.
