** The film was meant to be a star [[JustForPun vehicle]] for Creator/SteveMcQueenActor, but he passed on it because he didn't want to do yet another car film at that point in his career. It was then offered to Creator/SylvesterStallone, but he was busy with ''Film/{{FIST}}''. The studio wanted Creator/CharlesBronson for the lead as Creator/WalterHill had previously worked with him on ''Hard Times''. However, Bronson wasn't happy with how Hill had edited Jill Ireland's performance in ''Hard Times'', and that was the end of that.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/IsabelleAdjani later complained she felt the film hurt her career. "Afterwards the only American offers I got were bad ones," she said. "I did it, really because after ''Film/TheStoryOfAdeleH'' everyone urged me to make a Hollywood film. I turned down several, and felt I couldn't continue to do that. And I liked Creator/WalterHill. Only later did I realize I'd made a terrible mistake."
