Burt Lancaster, who was once a circus acrobat, performed his own stunts during the chase scene.
The film crew had to obtain a special authorization before shooting in the CIA building. Burt Lancaster asked Senator John V. Tunney, who then asked a CIA head director to authorize the shooting. Although filming and recording was not allowed in the building, Michael Winner did it anyway. Plus, no identification of any kind was asked for the crew members, but they had to wear badges made by the CIA especially for them, and with a scorpion on them. Those badges had to be destroyed after the shooting.
It is rumored that Burt Lancaster had in his contract that his gymnastic equipment be shipped, set up and struck at each location so he could work out to keep in shape.
Alain Delon told director Michael Winner that everybody would recognize him in Vienna, where several scenes of the film were shot, because Delon once was in a relationship with Austrian actress Romy Schneider. But no one there seemed to recognize him.
The production company was filming in Washington, D.C. and was staying at the Watergate Hotel during the time of the infamous break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex on June 17, 1972.
"Cross: There's a room just down the hall from McLeod's office where grown men play a game. It's a bit like Monopoly, only more people get hurt. There's no good and no bad. The object is not to win, but not to lose - and the only rule is to stay in the game."
