    • Trivia
      One of the earliest films to show a product placement for McDonald's fast food chain. This is when Nick Allen (Billy Dee Williams) and Dutch Schiller (Warren J. Kemmerling) are both in the car when the latter, ever in search of the perfect hamburger, says McDonald's "makes a f***ing good hamburger".
    • Goofs
      When the two hit-men chase Billy Dee to a racetrack, they corner him in a trailer home. During a shootout, Billy Dee escapes in a 70s model Ford or Chevrolet van, however the soundtrack of the van's motor is of a Volkswagen vehicle (Beetle or Van) with standard transmission.
    • Quotes

      Esther: You know the government pays me $18,000 to be a computer programmer. I'd trade every single cent... just for one night with you.

      Nick Allen: I can't stay with you. I can't.

      [Nick then kisses Esther]

    • Crazy credits
      The name of actor ''Yves Barsacq'' (Yves Barsacq) is spelled as ''Yves Barzacq'' in the opening credits but is spelled as ''Yves Barsacq'' in the closing credits.

    Not Quite a Hit
    When someone very close to him dies of a heroine overdose Nick Allen (Billy Dee Williams) seeks to make someone pay. His first stop was the street dealer that sold the drugs. While practicing his jabs and hooks on the drug dealer's face he had an epiphany: why not go to the source. Of course, that's not easy, so he had to put together a great plan and a team. The team was less than great, but it was all he could muster. Their destination: Marseilles, France.

    The movie was a stretch but it was good at times. I liked the idea of the movie I just didn't like the execution. Assembling a group of very reluctant participants isn't the best way to assassinate big time drug dealers. But, that was the story line we were given and that's the route Nick took.
