* NoStuntDouble: Because Creator/MelvinVanPeebles couldn't afford a stunt man, he performed all of the stunts himself, which also included appearing in several unstimulated sex scenes.

Van Peebles ended up performing the stunt nine times.
* PlayingAgainstType: A behind-the-scenes example; for a film with unsimulated sex scenes, dirty police officers being killed and other such things, you may be very surpised to learn that this movie was financed with a $50'000 loan from America's then-Favorite Dad, Creator/BillCosby!
