Quiz
Charles Bronson was considered for the role of Jerry Fanon. Rumors had it that Bronson turned this movie down because the producers had refused to write in a role for his wife, Jill Ireland. With much of the pre-production crew already on-location in the Caribbean, Sir Lew Grade wanted to shut down the production when Bronson pulled out. Realizing how much money he had already sunk into a movie that had not properly secured its star actors and actresses, Grade saved face by moving ahead using James Coburn as a replacement for Bronson.

Citazioni
Leo Gelhorn: The only virtue of the stupid is that they don't live long.

Versioni alternative
The film was originally released theatrically in the UK with an uncut 'AA' (15) certificate and later reissued as an 'A' (PG) with cuts to some of the bloodier shootings, shots of men on fire, a wire strangling and a brief shot of a topless woman. The 1986 video was upgraded to a 15 certificate and restored the later cinema edits though 15 secs were cut from a cockfighting scene.

Have no fear...James and O.J. are out to deliver justice.

Jerry Fanon (James Coburn) is a nice mercenary....sort of a James Bond up for hire. The US government hires him to locate and bring a mob boss, Stegner, back to pay for his crimes. But Stegner is in the Caribbean and extraditing him isn't possible. So, with his buddy, Catlett (O. J. Simpson), the pair make their way to there. However, almost no one knows WHAT Stegner looks like and Fanon wants to kill two stones...to capture Stegner AND to bring back a mob widow (Sophia Loren) who appears to be a prisoner of Stegner and his goons.

In some ways, this plays like a James Bond film but with LOTS more explosions and killing. Realistic? No way...but nice mindless adventure...especially the steam shovel bit. My only complaint is there the end...when all sorts of vehicles blow up and WHY is never explained. Why would one of the baddies keep blowing up cars with his goons inside. This really made no sense and it's almost like a piece of the story is missing....the WHY.
