Cast
Bronson and Thompson
This was the first of many collaborations for Charles Bronson and J. Lee Thompson. After this film, they worked on other action films, including a few that had very dark themes. They include: The White Buffalo, Caboblanco, 10 to Midnight, Murphy's Law, The Evil That Men Do, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown, Messenger of Death and Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects.
According to The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: The Gangster Film, Ingmar Bergman, visited the set of the film and reported that Charles Bronson was "scandalously underestimated."
The movie is also notable for early film cameos by Jeff Goldblum and Robert Englund. Goldblum was reprising his role of the maniacal street punk he had first adopted in Death Wish (1974).
