Originally developed as a film for Robert Mitchum. After Mitchum, James Coburn was attached to star- but that fell through as well. Having already invested in the script, American International Pictures decided to turn it into an "urban picture" and cast a black actor. Dick Anthony Williams, best know for his work in The Mack (1973) and Slaughter's Big Rip-Off (1973) was initially cast, but was quickly replaced by Isaac Hayes, who wanted to get into acting. It was also felt that Hayes was a bigger name draw than Williams.
This film was Nichelle Nichols only entry into the blaxploitation genre. She declined all offers for other blaxploitation films only to concentrate on the science-fiction convention appearances--especially "Star Trek" conventions--and later as a recruiter for NASA.

[Turnpike mumbles to Annette] Dorinda: [yells at Turnpike] Shut up, you junkie whore! I'm talkin' to you! And those two bitches that left, they'd better learn to sell pussy in Iceland because if I ever see them again, I'm gonna cut their fuckin' throats! We are family... and that's what we're gonna stay.
