* OneBookAuthor: Fear that the FullFrontalAssault scene would end their careers meant that none of Nikkatsu's contracted actresses were willing to play Mami, so Suzuki hired burlesque performer Mariko Ogawa for this, her only film role.

Originally intended to be just another cheap formulaic Yakuza film, Nikkatsu studio was not happy with the original script, which they felt made little sense. So they brought in Suzuki to fix it -- only to have him make it make even ''less'' sense. Pushing the formulas and conventions of the {{Yakuza}} genre to the point of absurdity and beyond, Suzuki turned it into a world where organized crime is almost like a professional sport, hitmen are ranked by numbers, and missions are seemingly chosen entirely for their potential to produce cool action sequences.

* {{Yakuza}}: both as a subject matter and a Genre, it was Suzuki's frustration with the limitations of the Yakuza genre that caused him to get creative.
