In the novel, the main character is called Derek Torry, not Lou, and the entire story is set in the UK.
Underworld settings in the USA featured in the movie included Skid Row in Los Angeles and Little Italy and Spanish Harlem in New York City.
The unsettling poster Bronson's character has in his apartment is a detail from "Saturn Devouring His Son" a painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya.
This violent cop movie was released just over 18 months after Clint Eastwood's violent cop movie, Dirty Harry (1971). The tagline on this picture's main American movie poster and DVD reads: "This cop plays dirty!". Roger Ebert said that this film was " . . . probably the best violent big-city police movie since 'Dirty Harry'" and "Digital Retribution" said that this movie " . . . is very much a post-'Dirty Harry' genre flick and Bronson's [Detective] Torrey reflects that in spades."
The name of the reclusive hippie monastic religious commune in Carmel in California, USA was the "Ashram of the Circulating Light".
"[last lines] Guido Lorenz: [Lorenz and Torrey, in car, as they watch Vescari enter a church] Nothing changes, only the names. Lou Torrey: You gotta be kidding. We're chest deep in water. Screaming against the rushing tide. Al Vescari: [cut to Vescari in church confessional, after organizing the hit on the other Dons] Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I haven't been to confession for ten days. I lose my temper... Lou Torrey: [cut back to Torrey and Lorenz in car] You know, last three weeks, in New York City alone, there were 159 homicides? Al Vescari: [in confessional] I don't mean to be harsh... but I... struck my son in anger last Tuesday. Lou Torrey: [in car] Three thousand criminal assaults, six thousand robberies. Al Vescari: [in confessional] Ruth, my wife, bless her, I swore at her. Lou Torrey: [in car] You multiply that by Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. Al Vescari: [in confessional] For these... and all the other sins which I cannot remember, forgive me. [exits confessional, pauses to cross himself in front of the altar, and leaves church] Lou Torrey: [in car, watching Vescari get into his limo] You remember that cartoon of an old Roman Circus, where all the lions are roaring, and the page boy yells down the corridor... [to camera] Lou Torrey: you've got five minutes, Christians. [Vescari's limo pulls away as credits roll]"
"Jumper: You can't hit me! I'll have you up on charges! Lou Torrey: Who hit you? I wouldn't do a thing like that. [punches Jumper in the face] Lou Torrey: You said "when", Jumper?"
