The character Alabama in True Romance (1993) was named after Pam Grier's character in this film. In the original script, Clarence even mentions that the name sounds like a Pam Grier character.
Pam Grier told The Rolling Stone she chose to be nude in many of her early films because she wanted to push the limits of how Black women were perceived in the acting world. She said, "I call it the 'Brown Nipple Revolution.' We weren't the epitome of sexual attraction for the male audience, in movies, magazines, anything. We were told our brown nipples weren't attractive. I was trying to break that line of what was acceptable in society."
Cast members Judith Brown, Pam Grier and Roberta Collins all appeared the same year in both Women in Cages (1971) and The Big Doll House (1971).
Quentin Tarantino has said of this movie: "I'm a huge, huge fan of Gerry de Leon.... the film is just harsh, harsh, harsh." He added that the final scene in the film is of "devastating despair".
Uncredited producer Roger Corman says in an interview piece with Leonard Maltin that he decided to make the movie in the Philippines because he thought he could get more bang for his buck in terms of value for money spent on the production budget.
