The character of Joe is a clear influence on the much less violent but similarly prejudiced Archie Bunker in ''Series/AllInTheFamily'', which debuted only a couple of years after this movie. Peter Boyle was so appalled at the MisaimedFandom directed at Joe--apparently much of 1970 America was OK with hippie-murdering--that he turned down several roles in films that glorified violence, including ''Film/TheFrenchConnection''.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Three admittedly scumbag hippies steal Bill and Joe's wallets. Bill and Joe murder them, and their friends.
