- QuizDanny Wilde (Tony Curtis) calls his car a (red) Ferrari. Technically his car is called a Dino 246GT. It has a V6 engine, made in collaboration with Fiat. Ferrari named all their cars with a V6 engine, Dino. Enzo Ferrari did this in memory of his too young deceased son (Alfre) Dino Ferrari.
- BlooperWhen Wilde escapes from the villains he is wearing a beret but in the next shot the beret has completely disappeared.

Maurice Devigne: Bonjour, monsieur.
Lord Brett Sinclair: Guten Tag. Ve are intersted in your coins.

- ConnessioniEdited into Qui Montecarlo... Attenti a quei due! (1974)
Maybe because it guest starred Susan George and she does look gorgeous. Shock horror, she looks like she might not even make it to the opening credits. She is shot.
George plays Michelle Devigne who seems to be the target of an assassination attempt. The alternative being Danny Wilde was the intended person to be killed.
Judge Fulton reckons Michelle is involved in a gold coin scam via her uncle. She is doing the designs for the coins. Her uncle is involved with some shady gangster called Pullicino in the south of France.
Brett Sinclair pretends to be a German gold dealer who can get his hands on some Nazi loot. Unfortunately his actions get the uncle killed by Pullicino.
Meanwhile Danny breaks into Pullicino's warehouse but gets caught.
There are a few nice car chases, some comedy from both Danny and Brett. It is not a great story in my opinion, a bit too cheesy. Not the gold standard.
