Raquel Welch did not like Burt Reynolds because of comments he made while they were filming 100 Rifles (1969) that she considered unsavory. So in this movie, she insisted that she not have any direct scenes with Reynolds. The closest they get is during the interrogation. Even when in the same room, they never had direct eye contact.
Burt Reynolds almost suffered serious burns to his face while doing his own stunt during a scene in which he is set on fire. Out-of-control flames whipped up his asbestos-lined coat sleeve, around his neck, and along the back of his head. This cut made it into the movie.
Burt Reynolds appears on the original poster sprawled almost naked on a rug. This has nothing to do with anything his character does in the movie: it is a re-creation of his famous 1972 centerfold for "Cosmopolitan" Magazine.
Brian De Palma was about to direct this movie, but he disagreed with the casting of Yul Brynner (The Deaf Man) and Raquel Welch (Detective Eileen McHenry). He subsequently left the project.
Based on the same material as 87th Precinct (1961) and the television series that preceded it.
"Detective: What do you mean they're putting garbage in your car? Man with Garbage: Every morning garbage in the front seat. You know, coffee grounds, potato peels and moldy fruit. It just gets such a mess when it gets on the floor and, you know, walking around with it slipping on your heels. It's disgusting; old chewed up bones like they had a dog or something. And one day it looked as though somebody had blown their nose in pieces of old toilet paper and wet cigarette butts and things like that. It's really disgusting, and you can't find that in your car seat every morning and live through it. My stomach turns and I really threw up several times, but not in the front seat of the car."
"Buck: It's the police! Pete Schroeder: It's the police! Det. Steve Carella: Who the hell is that? Det. Bert Kling: It's the police. Det. Steve Carella: What police? We're the police!"
