Trivia
The salary of star Charles Bronson was a then exorbitant US $1,500,000. Moreover, this did not include his back-end points percentage profit from the film's box-office grosses and the cost and expenditure for his and wife Jill Ireland's entourage of about a dozen personnel.

Goofs
Bronson makes his darts before knowing what he will use as a tube to know the size of darts. He disassembles a lamp to use as a blow gun that just happens to be the exact size of the darts that he makes.

Quotes
[During the trial about Joe Bomposa]
Senator: Why did he pay your rent, your trips, buy your clothes?
Jackie Pruit: Because I'm the best lay... dy in town!

Alternate versions
UK cinema and video versions were cut by 1 min 24 secs to remove a gunshot impact and to heavily edit the scene where Charlie makes nail darts for a homemade blowpipe. The cuts were restored in the 2000 Widescreen release.

Can't Go Wrong With Bronson

This is a solid if somewhat obscure Charles Bronson film. Rod Steiger gave a good performance as a mob boss. Beautiful Swiss film location. Somewhat tame and melancholy story. Still Bronson gets his man. Not his best, but still enjoyable.
