In 1977, James Caan said he only did the film because his advisers told him to work with Sam Peckinpah, and he rated it a zero on a scale to ten.
The building blown up in the opening sequence in the film was an old San Francisco Fire Department building that was scheduled for demolition. Sam Peckinpah filmed the implosion from the upper floor windows of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which was directly across the street.
The graphic violence in the original cut of the film was cut by Sam Peckinpah so he could obtain a PG rating for the film, instead of an R.
The final sequence was filmed aboard a "Victory" cargo ship that served in World War II and the Vietnam War, and also on-board the Mothball Fleet in Suisun Bay.
Sam Peckinpah was assigned to direct this film by Mike Medavoy, the head of United Artists at the time. Medavoy believed in Peckinpah's abilities, but knew that it was virtually impossible for Peckinpah to get a job with any of the studios, as he had alienated virtually everyone in Hollywood by that time. When this project came along, Medavoy knew it was perfect for Peckinpah, and gave it to him, but under the conditions that he worked under Medavoy's strict supervision. Peckinpah agreed.
"Mike Locken: No, hold, hold it Jerome. Jerome. Don't, uh, don't pull down on a cop. Fake Officer: Do what he says, Jerome. [Jerome shoots the cop] Mike Locken: Oh, are you crazy? Now you just made me an accessory. Mac: Mike, there's a garbage truck blockin' the alley and no garbage in sight. Mike Locken: Yeah I know, I wish Miller were in it. Jerome Miller: Forget it. He's no cop. Mike Locken: What d'ya mean he's no cop? Jerome Miller: Look at his gun. Tell me that's not a 9mm Star, and I'll kiss your ass. Mike Locken: And just from that you knew that? Jerome Miller: San Francisco Police Department packs regulation Smith & Wesson .38's. So... Mike Locken: Heh, heh. C'mon Jerome."
"Mike Locken: [looking at fake taxi cab] Well it, uh, blends in all right. What else has it got that makes it so charming? Mac: Gas tank is tucked under the rear seat. Steel plate wrap-around, reinforced bumpers. And it's a fully blown engine. Mike Locken: How come we never used it before? Mac: I just got it, Mike. Some union guy put it all together, bulletproof glass, and then they shot him in bed. I got it from his widow."
