WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesJohn Cassavetes was part of the original production but he became ill and filming was delayed for three weeks. In the end, he was replaced by Rip Torn. This, at least, was the story put out by the film's publicists at the time - however, later accounts tend simply to say that Cassavetes walked off the movie.
- Zitate
Capo Riccione: In my day a man like Mitchell would already lie stinking in the sun. Tell us, why a man like Mitchell, a "Mitchell," can know so much about our affairs? There is not a dollar that comes from heroin, whores, horses or protection that he hasn't handled, hasn't counted. He knows every name, every face, every business of everyone in the family. And what your family would not trust to their *blood*, they trusted to Mitchell. Where is he?
Dano Villanova: He'll be found, Capo.
- Crazy Credits[Postscript] "Many nations are helping fight the world battle against vice. In the forefront of these is Mexico. To the Mexican authorities who fight this battle so valiantly, this picture is dedicated by its producers."

Why even bother giving names to these plot advancers? It is a reach even to call them characters, since there is zero context, characterization or texture provided. "Supercop" infiltrates "Latin Drug Lord's" operation using "Blonde Moll" who is on the run from "Mob Guy." Who are these people? Apparently the director didn't care either, all he wanted was a few gun and knife fights to occur in front of a camera.
Unfortunately for the viewer, the plot itself is just as underdeveloped. I defy anyone to explain why the Michael Conrad character exists, why Sol Madrid does 3/4ths of the things he does (or how he could be allowed by his superiors to do so), or why "Mob Guy" decides to reenact the desert hotel scene from Touch of Evil.
The "mafia meeting" at the beginning is the silliest I have ever seen. And, no, this isn't supposed to be a comedy.
David McCallum and Stella Stevens believe the best way to deliver lines in an "intense" scene is to yell them, otherwise, any inflection is superfluous.
The only morsels of merit are seeing a completely unbelievable yet interesting way to smuggle drugs play out and Ricardo Montalban, who, despite the decent resumes of the other actors, is the only one who decided to employ his talents instead of pocketing his paycheck simply for showing up on the set.
