This film was the very first theatrical release to receive an R rating from the then-new MPAA's film rating system, although by today's standards, it's closer to a hard PG (no profanity, nudity or graphic violence).
This was Donald Sutherland's first movie filmed in America. He was shooting in London when the offer came through, but he didn't have enough money to fly his family to Los Angeles. Fellow Canadian Christopher Plummer lent him $1,500.
Based on the 1966 novel "The Seventh" by Richard Stark (a pseudonym for Donald Westlake). In the novel, Jim Brown's character "McClain" is actually called "Parker," the high-stakes criminal who features in several Stark novels. He is also portrayed by Lee Marvin (in "Point Blank"), Robert Duvall (in "The Outfit"), Mel Gibson (in "Payback") and Jason Statham (in "Parker") - and only in the last of these does the character have the name Stark gave him.
The game footage early in the movie is of an actual Rams-Falcons game, played on December 3, 1967 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Rams did win the game by 20-3, but it was a normal regular season game, not a "playoff". The following game on the day of the heist was the "playoff" game - with its anticipated higher attendance and higher gate receipts to steal.
Jim Brown's first lead starring role.
"Dave Negli: Listen, Marty, the last man I killed I did it for $5000. For $85,000 I'd kill you 17 times."
"Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: [naked in bed] Why did you come back? McClain: I told you I would. Didn't you hear me? Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: I kept on dreaming. And one morning I woke up. You weren't there. That was the one morning too many. You're not here now, McClain. McClain: If I'm not here, what the hell were you just doing? [Ellie slaps McClain]"
