This movie was co-financed by two alleged marijuana dealers, Leonard J. Goldberg and Robert Sterling. Sterling was sentenced to forty years for marijuana smuggling while Goldberg, sixteen days before this movie premiered on May 11, 1979, was found handcuffed and shot dead in his New York City apartment, allegedly a hit by mobsters for Goldberg's debt payment failure, on April 25 that year.
According to Jeff Bridges, Toshirô Mifune didn't know any English and had to learn his lines phonetically.
Reportedly, Richard Boone was drunk most of the time during his days on this movie. According to writer and director William Richert, Boone was so drunk throughout the shoot that Richert was quite impressed with how functional the man was. Production designer Robert F. Boyle worked with Boone once before on John Wayne's last movie, The Shootist (1976), and he confirms in the documentary Who Killed 'Winter Kills'? (2003) that Boone was always drunk, but quite functional on that shoot as well.
This movie was re-released in 1983 by writer and director William Richert's own company, four years after its initial release, with its deleted scenes returned, having been cut by the previous company.
According to writer and director William Richert, he decided to cast Belinda Bauer, who was a top New York City model at the time, because he fell in love with her, and he even wrote the part of Yvette Malone specifically for her. It was her first movie role. They began dating during the shoot. According to Jeff Bridges, because of this, Jeff felt uncomfortable while shooting the rather explicit love scene with Bauer, fearing that Richert might become jealous. Richert handled it well.
"John Cerruti: I'm so glad you're here! I receive so few outsiders. Who to trust? Who to trust? All of the nerves, but none of the flesh."
"Pa Kegan: I'm all that's standing between you and darkest night, son. The other side of me, there's Chaos."
