Mukhtarbek Kantemirov performed stunts himself.
The songs from the film were released on a double vinyl disc of the "Melody" in 1984.
30 years later, in 2011, Yuliy Gusman directed a sequel to the film.
Hand-to-hand fighting in the film was originally supposed to be definitely karate, but at the time of the film's release in the early 1980s, the attitude of the Soviet authorities towards this type of martial arts had already become disapproving, and therefore a scene was specially filmed in which San Sanych in prison explains to his students, that his fighting technique was borrowed from different fighting styles, in particular from the Azerbaijani gulesh.
Filming took place in the Azerbaijani historical and architectural reserve "Icheri-Sheher", and in the Kakh region of Azerbaijan.
