Production notes
John Flynn described working with Jan Michael Vincent:
“Jan was a drinker even then. He had Heineken for breakfast. In one scene we literally had to put him on his feet. Poor Jan. He adored Danny Aiello. He wanted to give him more text. I told him not to mess up the script like that. But Jan was a nice boy. He never thought of himself as an actor. It was uncomfortable for him to be an actor. Jan always thought that he would do a terrible job and that people would laugh at him ..... Jan was like a little kid. "
Reviews

- "RTV.de": Jan-Michael Vincent is "not quite Charles Bronson"
