- Creator Backlash: Martin Scorsese doesn't care much for the film, though he acknowledges it as an important turning point in his career; after a private screening for no less than John Cassavetes, John told him, "Marty, you've just spent a whole year of your life making a piece of shit" [e.g. something you don't really care about], and urged him that he was talented enough to grow beyond exploitation pictures.
- Creator Couple: Barbara Hershey and David Carradine were in the middle of a six-year relationship when they made this film.
- Follow the Leader: Even Martin Scorsese admits it was an attempt to piggyback on Bonnie and Clyde.
- No Budget: Made for $600,000 (slightly more than the budget of Mean Streets).
- Real-Life Relative: John Carradine shares a couple scenes with his son David.
- What Could Have Been: Bruce Dern was considered for Big Bill Shelly.
