- TriviaMarlon Brando told Lawrence Grobel ("Conversations with Brando") that this movie, which he only made for the money, as he was broke, was ruined in the editing room, with the humor of his scenes cut out.
- ErroresThe basic premise of the movie (that oil companies are hiding a "secret" formula for converting coal into gasoline) is false, as the formula is well known and has been known for a very long time. It's readily accessible.

Barney Caine: Let me tell you something. If I didn't have a son that still loved me, I'd blow your fuckin' brains out all over that wall back there... right here, right now. But I'm not in the murder business... and you're not worth one more minute of my time.
UPDATE--8/08. I re-watched this film (something I rarely do) and was surprised how dull I found it a second time. While I still liked the paranoid plot involving a worldwide oil conspiracy, this time I noticed that the film was a bit too talky and the plot a bit too convoluted. Plus, and I know Brando fans will hate me for saying this, but his acting seemed a tad over-done. Still, it's a decent film even if I did knock my original score from 8 to 6.
