The production was difficult for John Wayne, since he was suffering from recently diagnosed heart problems, and had just recovered from a severe bout of pneumonia.
This movie proved to be one of John Wayne's least successful movies at the box-office. Wayne said he would not have made this movie if he had known McQ (1974) was only going to be a moderate success.
Brian Glover was a well-known wrestler. He said in interviews that his fight scene was the only fight he was paid to lose in his career.
This movie contains a unique piece of footage of the inside of the Garrick Club (known as the actors' club) which traditionally does not allow cameras, and only agreed to let this movie in because Sir Richard Attenborough was a long-term member. In the scene in which Brannigan and Commander Swann are at the bar in the Garrick Club, on the wall behind them are portraits of Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud, both in Garrick Club ties.
Christopher Trumbo said he had no problem working on a movie that starred John Wayne, even though he was the son of blacklisted openly Communist screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.
"Brannigan: Commander, it's my breakfast time. I'd sure like, uh, two over easy, some bacon crisp, and a short stack. Cmdr. Charles Swann: [to the waiter] Right. I think what my guest would like is two eggs lightly fried on either side, a couple rashers of bacon, and a modest portion of pancakes. Brannigan: Not too modest on the pancakes."
"Brannigan: [after kicking down door] Knock, knock!"
