The coin-tossing game (known as "two-up") was notorious for deceiving naive players. Such people assume the three outcomes, two heads, two tails, and a head-and-a-tail, to have equal likelihood, 33%. In fact a head-and-a-tail has 50% probability, and the others have 25%.
The film is shot "in Hammerscope".
"Hell is a City" was the last "Hammer" film for Stanley Baker as his services could no longer be afforded.
The film was considered quite violent for the times. This was courtesy of scenes showing a woman being coshed to death, a police officer being kicked in the ribs after being shot and a woman being shot in the back.
The opening scene shot inside the perspective of a squad car was taken from American 1950's television shows, the likes that would later be parodies on Police Squad.
