    • Trivia
      In the movie, Gunn mentions that there was only one black senator. This is in reference to Edward Brooke, Republican Senator from Massachusetts, who served from January 3, 1967 - January 3, 1979. At the time the film was released, Brooke was only the third African-American Senator to serve in the U.S. Congress. He was the first one to be elected and serve since 1881.

      Out playing golf, Laurento (Stephen McNally) and Capelli (Martin Landau) are on the putting green and Laurento is lining up his putt while his bodyguard tends the pin. But he's clearly on a tee box, not a putting green. You can see the actual green off in the distance. You can also see divots golfers have made on this tee box they tried to pass off as a putting green.
    • Quotes

      Gunn: We got some big boys here tonight. Along came Jones! Deacon Jones.

      Deacon Jones, Himself: Gunn!

      Gunn: How you doin', brother?

      Deacon Jones, Himself: Just fine.

      Gunn: Good to see you. You're lookin' great, man. How's San Diego?

      Deacon Jones, Himself: Oh, man, it's wild. It's a groovy place. I am very fortunate to get traded down there. Didn't I demoralize those Rams?

      Gunn: Oh, yeah, baby. They're still the best in the game.

      Deacon Jones, Himself: Right on.

    Blaxploitation coasts along confidently in this hilarious no-brainer.

    Bought it on 16mm. Seriously flawed character motivation and gratuitous violence... Holes in the plot large enough to drive a '71 Caddy through... All the elements necessary for a hilarious and bewildering movie experience. The soundtrack is great although it surfaces about as frequently as the Loch ness Monster, bubbling up at unexpected and inappropriate moments. And how the hell did Martin Landau get in here? Bruce Glover is a shining beacon of kitsch. Solid, baby.
