Director Paul Aaron's stepson, Keanu Reeves, urged Aaron to take the director's chair so he could see a karate film made. Aaron pays tribute to his stepson in the film in the scene where O'Neill is showing Norris the burning of drugs in the evidence room. One of the evidence boxes has K. REEVES written on the side.
Chuck Norris' opponent in the finale fight was 'Bill "Superfoot' Wallace' who was also John Belushi's bodyguard. In real life, Wallace was the one who discovered Belushi's body after his drug overdose.
Director Paul Aaron was approached by American Cinema when the first director of the film, Ted Post, dropped out. Aaron had previously worked with the company on their (and his) first film A Different Story (1978). Although Chuck Norris was not a movie star at the time, Aaron was familiar with him as he had taken his kung fu obsessed stepson to see Enter the Dragon (1973). His stepson is Keanu Reeves.
The climactic night fight scene was shot in California in January and was prohibitively cold. Especially for Chuck Norris and Bill Wallace who were both barefoot and bare-chested throughout. The cameras would roll for a couple of minutes and then both actors would cover up and stand by a fire to warm up.
All fights were choreographed by Chuck Norris and his younger brother Aaron Norris, who was also stunt coordinator.
"Charlie Logan: [taking off his belt] You're gonna get it. Harriett: Oh yeah? Who's gonna give it to me? Charlie Logan: I am. [whips her backside with his belt] Charlie Logan: And DON'T CALL ME CHARLES NO MORE!"
"Matt Logan: Call it anything you want, but whoever did this is as good as dead."
