Production
The film predates Ted Kotcheff's First Blood, the film which introduced audiences to the John Rambo of David Morrell by seven years. Tomas Milian happened to read David Morrell's novel while flying from the U.S. to Rome. Loving the story he tried to talk some Italian producers into making a film out of it, with him starring as John Rambo. Nothing came of this, but he was allowed to use the Rambo moniker in the next poliziottesco he starred in.[1] The film does not borrow elements from the novel, with Lenzi stating he was more influenced by Don Siegel's crime films.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
Ida Galli took a role in the film when her real-life son Alessandro Cocco was cast as a kidnap victim.
