Explaining why he took the role of Frankenstein in this film, David Carradine said "I started that picture two weeks after I walked off the Kung Fu (1972) set, and that was essentially my image, the "Kung Fu" character, and a lot of people still believe I'm that guy. The idea actually was: No. 1, if you walk off a television series, you better do a movie right away or you might never get to do one. And the second thing was to do something right away that would create the image of a monster to get rid of the image of that little Chinese guy that I'd been playing for four years. And, you know, it did kick-start my movie career."
Both David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone did much of their own driving in this film. In addition, producer Roger Corman drove in scenes that were shot on public streets, since the custom-built cars that were used in the film were not street legal and the film's stunt drivers did not want to be caught driving them by the police.
The custom-built cars used in the film did not run most of the time, so they had to be pushed down hills in order to get them to move at all. Moreover, the cameras used to film the cars were undercranked in order to perpetuate the illusion that the cars were going faster than they actually were.
David Carradine refused to wear leather, so costume designer Jane Ruhm had to make Carradine's iconic black outfit out of another fabric that looked just like leather.
Mary Woronov, who played Calamity Jane in the film, did not know how to drive a car, so a stunt driver did all the actual driving for her in the film. For close-ups, Woronov sat in a car towed behind a truck with a camera crew riding in it.
"Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo: You know, Myra, some people might think you're cute. But me, I think you're one very large baked potato."
"Harold: As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points."
