Anecdotes
Emel Tümer was to co-star with Barbara Bouchet, but gave up the role when the shooting was about to begin, and was replaced by Oya Demir.

Gaffes
The pre-credits segment is a formula 1 car race, and a voice over narration stating "Geneva welcomes you to the International Grand Prix of Switzerland", repeated in French, Italian and German. However, this race was last held in 1982 (actually in French soil, near the border).

Versions alternatives
The film has two versions: (1) Beklenmeyen Randevu - Belali elmaslar (TR 1978-1982 92min) by Kunt Tulgar, with Turkish dialogue; (2) Diamanti che scottano (CH 1982-1985 83min) by Sergio Bergonzelli, with English dialogue. The second version cut off a large part of the original and added new scenes, shot in Geneva, the Jura mountain range in the French frontier, and in Turkey, with European credits only. The second version was intended for distribution in the international market, but ended up with limited VHS editions Italy (Diamanti insanguinati, Magic Video, 87min), Germany (rated 16, 75min), and Greece (83min).

'Diamond Connection' is a rough-cut grindhouse gem!

While Director Sergio Bergonzelli's rough cut grindhouse gem 'Diamond Connection' (1982) is a frequently shambolic, low-budget actioner, it is, to its credit, a rather boisterously entertaining B-movie. Borgonzelli has fortuitously assembled an entirely notable Euro-cult cast, featuring William Berger, Gordon Mitchell, and the incandescently gorgeous Giallo Goddess Barbara Bouchet! The main dude, 'Alan The Racing Driver' is unexcitingly played by Lorenzo Bonaccorsi who expresses all the screen dynamism of a carpet mite, but composer Louis Crelier's peppy, super-80s score is pretty rad, the Turkish locations are easy on the eye, and Barbara Bouchet is even easier on the ol' peepers, plus there's plentiful enough Bud Spencer-style roughousing to keep things from stagnating. While the prosaic plot is pure shenanigans, there's an enjoyably naïve Ed Wood Jr. Quality to Bergonzelli's Mise-en-scène that fairly swiftly won me over, and it's ALMOST in the same wonky wheelhouse as Jess Franco's equally penurious 60s & 70s Euro-spy flicks. Bergonzelli also directed the outstanding weirdness 'Blood Delirium' aka 'Delirio di sangue', which is GREATLY underrated horror-schlock.
