Sir Roger Moore and Lee Marvin got into a fight during filming, which Moore won. Marvin recalled, "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again."
The story of this movie was inspired by one of the most spectacular and adventurous events that took place during World War I, in German East Africa, later Tanganyika, later Tanzania, in late 1914 to early 1915, known as the Battle of Rufiji Delta, in which the German light cruiser S.M.S. Königsberg was blockaded, and finally sunk by various British units.
Sir Roger Moore played the young love interest, although he was 47 years old in real life.
This was the second of two filmed adaptations of novels by Wilbur Smith that featured Sir Roger Moore. The first had been Gold (1974). Both were directed by Peter R. Hunt.
