Curiosidades
The original cut of the film was shot for a few weeks in 1980 and was completed in 1981. In 1983, after Don Bendell had moved to Colorado with his new wife Shirley, he was able to secure a deal with Hollywood-based distributor Shapiro Entertainment to release the film, providing that he would shoot a new opening to make it more action-packed. This "new" version appears on all video releases of the movie.

Pifias
The stuntmen are clearly visible during the climatic chase and fight scene.

Versiones alternativas
When Shapiro Entertainment Corporation picked up the movie for its release, the distributor ordered director Don Bendell to shoot and insert a new opening to make the film more action-packed and to give it more character development. The new opening consisted of Thumper and Bob Chaney's character engaging in a no-holds-barred fight with a street gang. Another sequence occurs at the same time when a group of playground kids battle a seemingly normal guy creeping around, disguised as a ninja. The ninja later shows up after the fight and Chaney offers to let him join his karate school, to Thumper's dismay.

The Worst Movie Ever Made

You might suspect that the plot of this movie was written in the process of filming. It begins as a "punks versus vigilante" movie, but in the middle of the film, the plot changes abruptly when the vigilante turns to be an honest man with his honest girl and his honest gym and has to fight the corrupt "businessmen" who want to turn the gym down at any cost to build a mall or something. Then, the plot changes again, and we forget about the corrupt guys. The villain now is the friend of the leading man, who thinks he is a Ninja. The guy becomes "crazy evil" and wants at any cost to win a Martial Arts Contest. Seeing this movie is like having a nightmare with the television on.
