Pam Grier told The Rolling Stone she chose to be nude in many of her early films because she wanted to push the limits of how Black women were perceived in the acting world. She said, "I call it the 'Brown Nipple Revolution.' We weren't the epitome of sexual attraction for the male audience, in movies, magazines, anything. We were told our brown nipples weren't attractive. I was trying to break that line of what was acceptable in society."
Pam Grier became deathly ill during the production of this film, requiring her to be in bed for a month, with a fever at times of 105F.
The VW Country Buggies in the film were manufactured by Volkswagen of Australia from 1967 to 1968, and other versions were made in the Philippines by Sakbayan until 1980. Fewer than 2,000 were made, and they are sought-after by classic vehicle collectors.
