La Course à la mort de l'an 2000

Explaining why he took the role of Frankenstein in this film, David Carradine said "I started that picture two weeks after I walked off the Kung Fu (1972) set, and that was essentially my image, the "Kung Fu" character, and a lot of people still believe I'm that guy. The idea actually was: No. 1, if you walk off a television series, you better do a movie right away or you might never get to do one. And the second thing was to do something right away that would create the image of a monster to get rid of the image of that little Chinese guy that I'd been playing for four years. And, you know, it did kick-start my movie career."

At about 1:05:00 into the film, the airplane holds just one bomb but, nonetheless, multiple explosions occur when it attacks.

The original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove a head crushing scene and to edit shots of blood spurts from the car killings and a man's groin being stabbed with Joe's bayonet. All later releases were uncut.

Edited into Hollywood Boulevard (1976)
